Citizen Kane
[cert U, 120 mins]
Multimillionaire newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane
dies alone in his extravagant mansion, Xanadu,
mouthing a single word: 'Rosebud.' In an attempt to
figure out the meaning of this word, a reporter tracks
down the people who worked and lived with Kane;
they tell their stories in a series of flashbacks that
reveal much about Kane's life but not enough to
unlock the riddle of his dying breath.
