Amazon Blu-ray Deal of the Week: Citizen Kane (Expired)
Posted February 26, 2012 07:38 AM by Josh Katz
Amazon's Blu-ray Deal of the Week affects Warner Home Entertainment's Citizen Kane Ultimate Collector's Edition. Through March 3rd, Amazon is offering the Blu-ray package for 55% off its standard MSRP.
The American Film Institute's choice for Best American Film of All Time, Citizen Kane marks the feature-length writing, directing, and acting debut of Orson Welles (The Stranger). Borrowing elements from the life of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst in order to create fictional protagonist Charles Foster Kane (Welles), Welles crafted this technically innovative portrait of power and ambition turned corrupt.
This Blu-ray package contains a wide assortment of bonus supplements, including behind-the-scenes documentaries, interviews with cast and crew members, archival footage, audio commentaries, and two additional full-length features: the Academy Award-nominated documentary The Battle Over Citizen Kane and the HBO docudrama RKO 281.
Note: Welles' follow-up film, The Magnificent Ambersons, is not included in this particular Kane edition.
For this week only, the Citizen Kane Ultimate Collector's Edition is $28.99.
The deal expires at 12 AM PST/3 AM EST next Sunday, March 4th.
