Citizen Kane [75th Anniversary] [DVD] [1941]

It's a classic tale that rings true now even more than ever. Well captured devolution of character, showing a story of power and corruption. I think this movie should be watched and understood by a lot of people today. Uncanny how parallels can be drawn to current day events from events in the movie from 80 years ago.

Printed in 2016, this 75th-anniversary Blu-ray includes the following special features: separate commentaries by Roger Ebert and Peter Bogdanovich, interviews with Ruth Warrick and Robert Wise, "Opening: World Premiere of Citizen Kane," and still photography with commentary by Roger Ebert. This is a worthwhile purchase.

One of the best films ever! Nice BluRay package with plenty of nice extras. You must have this film!

I first viewed this classic in film school. Being a 20 year old at the time, I was not into old movies. This film surpasses time. A true classic. It opened my eyes to what it meant to watch a real film, not what Hollywood manufacturers just to make a buck. A real story with real characters.

High quality dive into one of the best classics. The audio and visual quality is cleaned up and pristine and adds to my classics collection quite nicely.

A classic. A movie that everybody who loves watching good movies should have in their homes.

The 75th Anniversary version of Citizen Kane is good. The film was shot in 1941 in academy full-frame so it looks odd on modern HD televisions. The quality of the transfer is good but appears a bit soft. Perhaps it the best that the original 35mm photography can provide. The commentary provide incite into this classic. HD classics are mostly all under $10 so they are bargains and good educational resource for would be film makers. It was a groundbreaking film for its time so it's easy to take for granted the techniques that a now commonplace in many films.

Many have called Citizen Kane the greatest American movie of all time, and with good reason. This is a tremendous film that continues to delight and amaze more than 75 years after its premiere. Orson Wells showed an incredible command of the medium and with the able support of his producer, John Houseman, Wells was able to make a film that displayed to best effect his prodigious talents as both actor and director. This release, in HD on Blu-ray, looks great, with excellent audio quality. Citizen Kane is a worthy addition to any collection, and every cineaste should consider finding room on their self for this piece of cinema art.
