CITIZEN KANE
Orson Welles | USA | 1941 | 119’
With: Marta Mateus (filmmaker) and Pedro Santos Guerreiro (journalist)
Everything has already been said about Orson Welles' sophomore feature. Despite its ordinary " rise and fall" story, Citizen Kane is an innovative film in pratically every aspect: from narrative structure to the use of depth of field, from the treatment of filmic space to the characters' psychological complexity. Citizen Kane builds a retrospective portrait of its leading character Charles Foster Kane right after his death. Born in a modest family, Kane rose to stardom as a media tycoon. The revision of his past is developed through different (and conflicting) points of view from those of knew him - like is former partner and confident (Jedediah) or his second wife (Susan Kane). They all seek to answer the same question: who was Kane? And what does it mean the word ""Rosebud"", whispered by Kane right before his death? The problem of origin (also the origin of the monstruous behavior of his characters) was widely explored by Welles, from false identities in The Stranger (1946) to the problematization of "authenticity" in F for Fake (1973).
