There will be no shortage of thinkpieces and hot takes over the next many years about how the latest film or television show is representative of Trump’s America, but one only needs to go back 75 years for perhaps the most comparable character to the President-elect. Showing scant self-awareness, our modern-day Charles Foster Kane actually considers Citizen Kane, certainly the most influential film in cinema, his favorite of all-time.
Having its 75th anniversary this year, to celebrate the occasion, a new Blu-ray edition will be released, and a new trailer has been unveiled. While the set doesn’t look to include any new extras compared to the lavish edition five years ago, if you didn’t pick that one up and are looking for one at a cheaper price point, this looks to be essential. Also, if you’re in the Los Angeles area tomorrow, AFI Fest will hold a screening of the film, followed by a Peter Bogdanovich masterclass.
Check out the trailer below.
Citizen Kane: 75th Anniversary will be released on November 15.
