Topic: Citizen Kane DVD

[quasar]

DVDReview.com carried a story that Citizen Kane has been scheduled for a September 25 release. Here's the full text of the story:

"As we had announced previously already, Warner Home Video has been working on a DVD version of Orson Welles’ masterpiece, Citizen Kane. Now we have been able to find out that the DVD is scheduled for a release on September 25!
Condemned in its own day as too controversial, "Citizen Kane" has become the standard by which all other cinema is based. Ranked by the American Film Institute and countless critics and film historians as the greatest American film of all time, "Kane" retrospectively examined the life of one Charles Foster Kane, a powerful and influential man with more than a few similarities to real magnates of the time including media mogul William Randolph Hearst. But despite the power of Kane, his life, and ultimate death, were a mystery was reflected differently to all who knew him.
We will, of course, keep you posted when more information on this highly anticipated title comes in, but at least the September 25 release date seems to be fixed by now."

No details yet as to the disk's features.

First the Godfather box set, then The Phantom Menance, now this! Here's hoping that the peso regains some value (45:1?) before September!

About damn bloody time they got this classic into the DVD format! A lot of people are raving about its visual set pieces and they should because GREG TOLAND this great GERMAN cinematographer did the camera work.But aside from that This film reinvented the narrative structure of film. It had a non-linear storyline at a time when the films being made in hollywood were pretty basic!Sorry ORSON you were way ahead of your time and just like VAN GOGH you had to wait for everybody else! SANTA I WANT ONE!

That guy had so many great films that were trashed by Hollywood. Goes to show how the truly gifted are destroyed or just plain buried in sight by " MEDIOCRITY! MEDIOCRITY! "

From dvdfile, R1 specs:



"Warner has announced the full specs, and it looks pretty dang good! A two-disc set, the film will be presented in its original 1.37;1 aspect ratio (direct from a new print of the film) and English mono track, with English Closed Captions and English, French, Spanish and Portuguese subtitles. Disc one includes two full-length audio commentaries with director and Welles biographer Peter Bogdanovich, and the second with film critic Roger Ebert, the original 1941 movie premiere newsreel, a storyboard gallery and the original theatrical trailer. Disc two includes "The Battle Over Citizen Kane" documentary, rare interviews with Orson Welles and rare footage from William Randolph Hearst's San Simeon Estate, and finally Welles' historic "The War Of The Worlds" broadcast. Pretty cool, eh? Retail is $29.95 and street date 9/25

Wow, now that it's here, I still can't believe it. I've been going over this DVD for the past 2 days now. Cool huh, that this is probably the first (correct me if I'm wrong) Warner DVD title that DOESN'T come in a snapper case? Still a bit flimsy though. I wonder how the R3 will be packaged.

You can say that again.Goes to show you how HOLLYWOOD is terrifyied of genuis and originality that they tried to destroy Welles.Which they succeded in doing but failed to destroy his film. Which ironically outlived them all  and the biggest kicker is that it is considered by all to be " THE GREASTET FILM OF ALL TIME!"
