Citizen Kane

The press magnate Charles Foster Kane dies uttering a single word: "Rosebud". A journalist investigates the life of the most powerful man of his time by interviewing those who knew him. Orson Welles directed, wrote, and starred in 1941, at the age of 26, the film that invented the grammar of modern cinema: impossible angles, depth of field, non-linear time. Considered for decades the best film in the history of cinema.

Citizen Kane invented the grammar of modern cinema. At 26, Orson Welles redesigned what can be done with a camera, a light, and an edit. "Rosebud" is the most famous question in cinema and the answer that no one expects.
