Join us for our next Movie Time at the Chapter House. It’s the monumental “Citizen Kane.” Saturday, June 14, at 5:30 PM.
Widely considered one of the greatest American films of all time, “Citizen Kane” (1941) is highly regarded for many reasons. Beyond the riveting tale of a self-made man who won and lost it all, the movie is celebrated for its many groundbreaking film techniques. It also features all-star actors, directors, and writers including Orson Welles and Herman Mankiewicz.
When a reporter is assigned to decipher newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane’s dying words, his investigation gradually reveals the fascinating portrait of a complex man who rose from obscurity to staggering heights and wealth. Though Kane’s friend and colleague and his mistress shed fragments of light on Kane’s life, the reporter fears he may never penetrate the mystery of the elusive man’s final word, “Rosebud.” (120 min, rated PG).
