WARNER: Citizen Kane 75th Anniversary Edition Arrives in November

Warner Bros. has announced the 75th anniversary edition of Orson Welles' Citizen Kane will arrive on DVD and Blu-Ray on November 15th.

There is no word if the film has been remastered for this edition or if bonus material will be different from the 70th anniversary edition. Preliminary information listed below.

 

Orson Welles' masterwork (#1 in the American Film Institute's list of Best American Movies) dazzles anew in a superb 75th-anniversary digital transfer. It's grand entertainment, sharply acted (starting many of Welles' Mercury Players on the road to thriving film careers) and directed with inspired visual flair.

Chronicling the stormy life of an influential publishing tycoon, this Best Original Screenplay Academy Award winner (1941) is rooted in themes of power, corruption, vanity - the American Dream lost in the mystery of a dying man's last word: 'Rosebud.'

  • Commentary by Peter Bogdanovich
  • Commentary by Roger Ebert
  • Opening: World Premier of Citizen Kane Vintage Featurettes
  • Interview with Ruth Warrick
