“Citizen Kane” (1941)
Sunday March 8 2:00 pm

RANKED #1 FILM OF ALL TIME BY
THE AMERICAN FILM INSTITUTE

13 National & International Award Nominations, with 10 wins including an Oscar for Best Writing, Original Screenplay.

It’s 1941, and newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane (Orson Welles, who also directed, produced, co-wrote the script & stars in) is dead. The opening shots show Xanadu, Kane’s vast, elaborate, and now unkempt estate in Florida. Interspersed with segments of his newsreel obituary are scenes from his life and death. Most puzzling are his last moments: clutching a snowglobe, he mutters the word “rosebud.” Kane, whose life was news and whose newspapers not only reported but formed public opinion, was central to his time, a larger-than-life figure. The newsreel editor feels that until they know who or what Rosebud is they won’t have the whole story on Kane.

Considered by many critics, filmmakers, and fans to be the greatest film ever made, Citizen Kane topped the American Film Institute’s 100 Years … 100 Movies list in 1998, as well as its 2007 update.
