CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (Chambana Today) — The historic Virginia Theatre in Champaign is hosting a screening of a historic movie later this month.
Citizen Kane, which is one of the most notable movies ever made, will be shown at Virginia Theatre on one day at two different times on January 17!
The movie, celebrated for its innovative narrative structure, deep-focus cinematography, and revolutionizing filmmaking with its innovative narrative structure. Citizen Kane explores themes of power, wealth, and the elusive nature of identity through a thinly veiled story of media mogul William Randolph Hearst.
When a reporter is assigned to decipher newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane’s (Orson Welles) dying words, his investigation gradually reveals the fascinating portrait of a complex man who rose from obscurity to staggering heights. Though Kane’s friend and colleague Jedediah Leland (Joseph Cotten), and his mistress, Susan Alexander (Dorothy Comingore), shed fragments of light on Kane’s life, the reporter fears he may never penetrate the mystery of the elusive man’s final word, “Rosebud.”
