CLASSIC CINEMA
Orson Welle's
CITIZEN KANE(U)
Welle's cinematic masterpiece returns to the BIG
SCREEN.
Fri 5-March 8pm
Book tickets online
Directed by Orson Welles
Screenplay by Orson Welles &
Herman
L. Mankiewicz
Runtime: 2hrs
Starring:
Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Dorothy Comingore, Agnes Moorehead,
Ruth Warrick, Ray Collins, Erskine Sanford, Everett
Sloane, William Alland, Paul Stewart, George Coulouris, Fortunio Bonanova, Gus
Schilling, Philip Van Zandt, Katherine Trosper, Georgia Backus, Harry Shannon,
Sonny Bupp, Buddy Swan.
First released in 1941, dazzlingly inventive, technically breathtaking, Citizen
Kane reinvented the way stories could be told in the cinema, and set a standard
generations of film-makers have since aspired to. An absorbing account of a
newspaper tycoon's rise to power, Orson Welles' debut film feels as fresh as
tomorrow's headlines.
CITIZEN KANE is Orson
Welles's greatest achievement--and a landmark of cinema history. The story
charts the rise and fall of a newspaper publisher whose wealth and power
ultimately isolates him in his castle-like refuge. The film's protagonist,
Charles Foster Kane, was based on a composite of Howard Hughes and William
Randolph Hearst--so much so that Hearst tried to have the film suppressed. Every
aspect of the production marked an advance in film language: the deep focus and
deeply shadowed cinematography (from Gregg Toland); the discontinuous narrative,
relying heavily on flashbacks and newsreel footage (propelled by a script
largely written by Herman L. Mankiewicz); the innovative use of sound and score,
and the ensemble acting forged in the fires of Welles's Mercury Theatre
(featuring the film debuts of, among others, Joseph Cotten, Everett Sloane, and
Agnes Moorehead). Every moment of the film, every shot, has been choreographed
to perfection. The film is essential viewing, quite possibly the greatest film
ever made and, along with THE BIRTH OF A NATION, certainly the most influential.

Book tickets online
Directed by:
Jason Reitman (Juno)
Starring:
George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, Anna Kendrick, Melanie Lynskey
Runtime: 1hr 50mins
Ryan Bingham's job is to fire people from theirs. The anguish,
hostility, and despair of his "clients" has left him
falsely compassionate, isolated and living out of a suitcase, and loving every
second of it. When his boss hires arrogant young Natalie, she develops a
method of video conferencing that will
allow termination without ever leaving the office - essentially threatening
the existence Ryan so cherishes. Determined to show the naive girl the error
of her logic, Ryan takes her on one of his cross country firing expeditions,
but as she starts to realize the disheartening realities of her profession, he
begins to see the downfalls to his way of life.
