Citizen Kane / Obywatel Kane
Located in London, GB
Original Polish film poster designed by Henryk Tomaszewski (1914-2005) and used for the film's re-release 1957.
This stylish Polish poster, designed by Henryk Tomaszewski uses minimal colours to great effect.
Martin scorsese has said that what makes Welles’s style so remarkable is its self-consciousness.
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.

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.
