Citizen Kane

We all know Hollywood legend Orson Welles from his groundbreaking role as Unicron in Transformers: The Movie, but did you know he actually directed and starred in a lesser known film called Citizen Kane in 1941? It’s true! This brave little movie toiling in the shadow of its younger brother may not have bright colors or cars that turn into robots, but that doesn’t mean it has nothing to say for itself. Citizen Kane has a Shakespearean rise and fall, then-innovative cinematography techniques, and a complex character study forming the backbone of its story, which is, you know, fine, if you’re into that kind of thing. Anyways, this is the perfect chance for you to expand your Welles knowledge and give this obscure film a chance, and then be sure to come back and listen to those lovable Magellans blather on about it.
