[pre-discussion post] Citizen Kane
Citizen Kane (1940) was Orson Welles' film debut. He co-wrote, directed, and starred in the film which has now become a classic though at the time it was a box office failure and the beginning of the end of what could have been an illustrious film career and an unprecedented contract for a 25-year-old radio and Broadway personality.
The film is available through Netflix, though not streaming. Most libraries should have a copy. If anyone has difficulty finding it, please contact me or comment here and we'll figure something out.
Discussion will begin on Wednesday, February 1. In the meantime, feel free to use this post to discuss your impressions of the film before seeing it, Welles' career, your expectations, etc. Just don't tell anyone what "rosebud" means.
