In May of 1941, RKO Radio Pictures released a controversial film by a 25–year–old, first–time director. That premiere of Orson Welles‘ "Citizen Kane" was to have a profound and lasting effect on the art of motion pictures. Through its unique jigsaw–puzzle storyline, inventive cinematography, brilliant ensemble acting and direction by Welles, the story of Charles Foster Kane is a fascinating portrait of America‘s love of power and materialism and the corruption it sometimes fosters. Like all great films, "Citizen Kane" is a memorable fusion of cinematic art and marvellous entertainment. Discover the meaning of "Rosebud…" in a hugely influential movie that regularly tops the list of the greatest films ever made.
