Hi, this is Steve. This week on the Cinephiles, we continue the month of Kane with

part two of our deep dive into the 1941 Orson Wells Classic. This is when things get dark

for Mr Charles Foster Kane, when the promise and idealism of youth gives way to obsession, humiliation, and in my opinion, an almost all-encompassing loneliness.

How can a man so talented and brilliant

with all the resources of one of the world's great fortunes

come to such an end?

And how can a first-time filmmaker

capture that descent with techniques so stunningly original and so perfectly

executed that the rest of the filmmaking world would spend decades catching up.

And how is it possible that this amazing film was almost destroyed before the public

could see a single frame? Well to find out you'll have to tune in this Friday

for Part 2 of Citizen Kane on the Cine files.

I see. It's you that this is being done to. It's not me at all. Not what it means to me. I can't do this to you?
