Citizen Kane

About the Item

Original German film poster used for the film's re-release in the 1960's Orson Welles at the age of only twenty-five directed, produced, co-wrote and starred in this remarkable film. This film has consistently been number one on the American Film Institute's top 100 American films. He deployed every narrative device and cinematic technique available: flashback, deep focus, high and low angle shots. These he reshuffled, reinvented, amplified, freeing the narrative from the convention of chronology and revolutionising the way a camera was used. Unlike the invisible Craft of someone like Howard Hawks, Welles’s authorship made its presence felt. The impact of Citizen Kane was both immediate and lasting. Today, the film is considered a turning point: its innovations had a powerful, indelible effect on filmmakers all-over the world. This poster is conservation linen backed. It would be shipped rolled in a strong tube.
