Released 75 years ago today, Citizen Kane is still considered by many to be the greatest American movie ever made. Director Orson Welles stars as a ruthless newspaper tycoon whose ambition drives him to trample over those closest to him. This timeless tale of power and corruption pushes the limits of then-available technology—mattes, deep focus and trick photography—to create a true cinematic magic show that has stood the test of time. D: Orson Welles, US, 1941, 119m
