Reviews
New remastered collector's edition including extraordinary collectables.
Orson Welles’ masterwork (number 1 in the American Film Institute’s list of Best American Movies) dazzles anew in a superb 75th-anniversary high-definition digital transfer. It’s grand entertainment, sharply acted (starting many of Welles’ Mercury Players on the road to thriving film careers) and directed with inspired visual flair. Chronicling the stormy life of an influential publishing tycoon, this Best Original Screenplay Academy Award winner (1941) is rooted in themes of power, corruption, vanity – the American Dream lost in the mystery of a dying man’s last word: “Rosebud.”

An excellent universal (can be played in any zone/region) Blu-ray DVD of perhaps the best known of Welles' films. A film worth watching more than once the 75th anniversary edition also comes with a slim book about the film and a series of postcards featuring posters, receipts and other collateral from the production which will be of interest to fans of the film and/or Welles.
A bargain for the price, I look forward to seeing Welles and the supporting cast bringing to life the character of Kane and the trials and tribulations of his life and his business empire.

There was no soundtrack on the main film. I have tried two copies and both had the same fault, so it looks as though it may be a problem with a batch. A great shame as the transfer is visually very impressive.

When a newspaper tycoon dies, everybody is trying to find out what his last word means.
This Warner Bros. release is the one to buy! After the abysmal Universal release, which was dire, and one of the worst blu ray transfers ever, this release is superior in every way. There is not a blemish in sight, and all of the problems of the Universal release have gone. Yes it's missing the documentary's of the U.S. release, but the superior quality far outweighs that, and it appears to have the same restored transfer as the one that Warner Bros. released in the U.S.
Picture Quality is superb, and has been transferred in it's original aspect ratio of 1.37:1. Sound is in the original mono.
If you have the Universal blu ray, and are a fan of this movie, then it is definitely worth buying this version. You won't regret it.

Beautiful edition. I carefully pulled off the horrible outer sleeve paper that had been attached and it revealed the lovely case underneath.
Played the movie briefly and the sound and picture are fantastic. I have seen Kane as the original non blu ray version and this is a huge improvement. The picture is much sharper, with more detail. The sound also seems much better. The improvements only enhance the experience.
