Citizen Kane (Welles, 1941): Prince Charles Cinema, 6.15pm


This is screening as part of the Prince Charles Cinema's classics season.

Chicago Reader review:
'What can you say about the movie that taught you what movies were? The first time I saw Kane I discovered the existence of the director; the next dozen or so times taught me what he did—with lights and camera angles, cutting and composition, texture and rhythm. Kane (1941) is no longer my favorite Orson Welles film (I'd take Ambersons, Falstaff, or Touch of Evil), but it is still the best place I know of to start thinking about Welles—or for that matter about movies in general.' Dave Kehr

Here is the party scene and above is the trailer.
