THE OPPOSING FACES OF CITIZEN KANE (Part One of Two)
Last year, the American Film Institute ranked CITIZEN KANE as the greatest American motion picture of all time. I suspect that some of the 1941 film's lasting appeal is due to the psychological complexity and ambiguity of its protagonist, Charles Foster Kane (played by Orson Welles). In this two-part article, I argue that the film depicts Kane as somehow indefinable, yet proceeds to offer a series of "hidden clues" about his true nature.
