Citizen Kane

Widely considered the greatest film ever made, Citizen Kane follows a reporter's investigation into the life of Charles Foster Kane, a powerful newspaper magnate who died alone in his vast estate. Told through a series of flashbacks and interviews, the film pioneered revolutionary cinematographic and narrative techniques that transformed the art of filmmaking. Orson Welles was just 25 years old when he directed, co-wrote, and starred in this landmark work.
