What's this? In appearance, a kind of fond Hollywood biopic in the glory of the great characters that American cinema loves to breed in exemplary hero offered to the admiration of crowds. In fact, the disarticulation of scholarly and beautiful of its kind to develop, with the same elements arranged otherwise, a creative idea of staging.
The film opens with the death of Charles Foster Kane

The Cradle Will Rock , exaltation of the union struggle staged by Broadway him, was prohibited in 1937 ) Orson Welles has created a film that can be read as criticism of the ambition of the American boss. That is why the media magnate William Randolph Hearst , feeling targeted by the movie, unleashed his newspapers against him. But it is especially a great inventor of forms, some of which are inspired by these two founders of the modern theater that are

to Ford, have explored many ways of borrowing Citizen Kane. But this film, which was at first nothing "experimental", offers at once a point of convergence of all these contributions in the service of a grand narrative of rise and fall which is placed immediately in the realm of myth.
formal break with the codes established by the industry images, it is not only a manifestation of inventive genius unparalleled. When Orson Welles
himself declares:
"The public is the judge. Kane was both selfish and selfless, it was both an idealist and a swindler, a very great man and a poor person. Everything depends on who speaks. (...) The purpose of the film is also more in the representation of the problem than its solution "
