Warner Brothers has gone all out and delivered the best Blu-ray release of the year, an achievement all on its own in terms of technical mastery and layered entertainment value. Citizen Kane: 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector’s Edition may have something for everyone. The HD transfer, for example, will please those in search of extreme visual purity while adding a fascinating layer to cinematographer Greg Toland’s “deep focus”.
The film which has always been famous for its use of light and shadow, now becomes a magnificent visual spectacle, with each frame demanding our attention for the sheer beauty of its content. Scenes that in past releases were a bit “smoky”, now obtain a clarity that contrasts beautifully with the Faustian qualities of the story’s moral center; selling one’s soul had never looked more gorgeous.
