Come see Citizen Kane presented with 35mm Projection on the big screen in L3!

“Rosebud.” Charles Foster Kane’s dying words resonated in the psyches of everyone everywhere and set the stage for the greatest mystery in cinematic history. Citizen Kane requires no introduction: it is the single most commonly cited answer when determining the greatest film ever made and arguably the most influential piece of cinema ever. The success of Citizen Kane, however, is largely down to one man: Orson Welles. Starring in its title role, Welles commands Citizen Kane with his bravura, unforgettable screen presence while simultaneously directing the film and thereby inspiring hopeful filmmakers for decades — and likely centuries — to come. However, this is not to downplay the success of the film as a whole; every element of Citizen Kane is communicating with one another in a flawlessly effective manner. In exploring often uncomfortable but eternally resonant truths about life and humanity, Welles constructs a film that will be remembered forever; Citizen Kane is the masterpiece of not only Welles’s unparalleled career but cinema itself. And if you’re wondering about the significance of the word that opened this review, you won’t find the answer here – you’ll simply have to come and watch to find out… [Sam Ripley]
