Citizen Kane Returns to the Big Screen for First Time in Over 25 years

Considering the last story I published was an image from Clerks III it only makes sense to follow it up with a Citizen Kane post. After Criterion's announcement that  Kane will be one its first 4K releases, the David Fincher film Mank, and an 80th anniversary theatrical rerelease there has been quiet a bit of Kane talk over the last year. I for one welcome all this CK chatter, after all "its terrific." Sorry sometimes I can't help myself..

Widely considered to be the greatest film of all time, Citizen Kane is marking its 80th anniversary with a return to the big screen! Orson Welles was just 25 years old when he directed, co-wrote, produced and starred in his first feature film. The film follows an investigation of a publishing tycoon's dying words, revealing conflicting stories about his scandalous life.

These special anniversary screenings include exclusive pre and post-film commentary, presented by TCM Primetime Host Ben Mankiewicz, who is the grandson of Citizen Kane screenwriter, Herman J. Mankiewicz.

Tickets for Citizen Kane 80th Anniversary can be purchased at www.FathomEvents.com or participating theater box offices. Fans throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy the event in select movie theaters; for a complete list of theater locations visit the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change). Please contact your local theater for individual safety precautions.

September 19 & 22 Only

Explaining the Ending of MULHOLLAND DRIVE

By
David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive remains one of the most haunting and enigmatic films ever made. It operates like a riddle that refuses to be solved, luring the viewer into a world where time, memory, and identity dissolve into one another. What begins as a mysterious, almost whimsical Hollywood fairy tale gradually transforms into a psychological nightmare. By the end, it’s clear that what we’ve been watching is not a mystery to be unraveled but an emotional landscape, the mind of a woman caught between fantasy and despair. The film tells the story of two women, Betty Elms and Rita, whose lives intertwine after Rita survives a car crash and loses her memory. Betty, a bright and optimistic aspiring actress freshly arrived in Los Angeles, takes her in. Together, they embark on an investigation into Rita’s identity, which unfolds like a noir detective story bathed in dreamlike light. Everything about this world feels heightened: Betty’s charm, the coincidence of events, and the ease with w...

Explaining the Ending of No Country for Old Men

By
No Country for Old Men is a tense, spare, and philosophical thriller that upends traditional narrative expectations. While it contains the elements of a crime drama—drug deals, hitmen, shootouts—it refuses to follow a conventional path. By the time the film ends, the central conflict seems unresolved, the villain walks away, and the protagonist we’ve been following disappears offscreen. To understand the film’s ending, one must look beyond plot and consider its themes: fate, violence, moral decay, and the erosion of order in the modern world. The Narrative Setup The story begins with Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), a Vietnam veteran who discovers a drug deal gone wrong in the Texas desert and makes off with $2 million in cash. Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem), a remorseless hitman, is sent to retrieve the money. Sheriff Ed Tom Bell (Tommy Lee Jones), a weary and introspective lawman, tries to make sense of the violence unfolding around him. At first glance, the film appears to set up a c...
