'Citizen Kane', A 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collectors Edition For An Orson Welles Masterpiece

Will this set be sitting atop your movie collection sometime soon?

What's that I hear? Is it the gracious sacrifrices film buffs will be offering as a thank you to the movie gods? Well, I think Warner Home Video will accept your cash as an equivalent. Either way, its a win-win situation.

It seems that Amazon will be letting you pre-order the Citizen Kane 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition on DVD and Blu-ray. A cinematic masterpeice that i don't think any film buff would want to live without.

“Arguably the greatest of American films, Orson Welles's 1941 masterpiece, made when he was only 26, still unfurls like a dream and carries the viewer along the mysterious currents of time and memory to reach a mature (if ambiguous) conclusion: people are the sum of their contradictions, and can't be known easily. Welles plays newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane, taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. The result is that every well-meaning or tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event. Written by Welles and Herman J. Mankiewicz, and photographed by Gregg Toland, the film is the sum of Welles's awesome ambitions as an artist in Hollywood. He pushes the limits of then-available technology to create a true magic show, a visual and aural feast that almost seems to be rising up from a viewer's subconsciousness. As Kane, Welles even ushers in the influence of Bertolt Brecht on film acting. This is truly a one-of-a-kind work, and in many ways is still the most modern of modern films from the 20th century.” 

Also, Amazon has an exclusive with the blu-ray set that includes a DVD version of The Magnificient Ambersons, another gem from director Orson Welles. Unfortunately, no press release or official details has been announced yet but, surely there will be some news very soon. 

Some of the Special Features included in the Citizen Kane collection: 

1. RKO 281
2. The Magnificent Ambersons DVD (EXCLUSIVE to Amazon) 
3. Replica documents 
4. Poster art cards 
5. Collector’s book 

Just for the fun of it, a brilliant Simpson moment for Citizen Kane:
