Description

Orson Welles' controversial film, hailed as best American film ever made, is a portrait of Charles Foster Kane, revealing America's love of power and materialism and the resultant corruption. The film earned eight Academy Award nominations and won the Oscar for best screenplay.

Description

An all-powerful press magnate, Kane, dies in his fabulous castle Xanadu, his last word being "Rosebud", which leads a reporter to seek the meaning behind the word and find the meaning of Kane. Prominant publisher, William Randolph Hearst, saw the film as a thinly disguised version of his career and attempted to suppress it.
