Peter Bogdonavich knew Orson Wells. That has it's pluses and minuses for this track. Bogdonavich tells you alot about Wells. in fact he tells you too much. His views are alittle long winded and one sided at times

Bogdanovich knew everyone; he's almost made a second career of DVD commentaries. He's never boring, though; there isn't a story he tells that I don't want to hear.

If you've never heard Bogdanovich speak, you do kind of adore everything he says - it's just so interesting and his deep knowledge is admirable. After awhile however, he can grate a bit and if you have listened to him speak before and think you know everything about Kane you might want to give this a miss.

Roger Ebert has done his homework. This track is full of insights into why this film is considered one of the most important movies of all time

Roger Ebert knows film: he knows great direction, screenwriting, acting & even knows lots of things you didn't notice. His track made the film that much more enjoyable.

Roger Ebert is a great added bonus; he points out every great detail with enthusiasm and interest, as if he' still amazed by a movie he's no doubt seen countless times.

Ebert is enthusiastic! I like how he stuck to a lot of technical/background material for the film, rather than giving his own analysis (like the awful "Metropolis" commentary).

Superb commentary. Ebert points out many aspects with the movie that you might have overseen.

By far my favorite commentary out of the hundreds I have listened to. Essentially, it is a film class with Ebert personally telling you everything that's great about the movie. You'll never watch the film the same way again.

ROGER EBERT MUST DO THE AUDIO COMMENTARY FOR EVERY GREAT FILM. PERIOD.

Warning: if you think this film is just okay, Ebert will completely shift your perception and convince you how brilliant it is via this insightful and highly informative commentary track. Couldn’t agree more with ‘criterion_hunter’.

A standard for all commentaries. His analysis of CITIZEN KANE covers production history, visual strategies, cast/crew bios, film reception, and everything else you could think of. It will greatly heighten your appreciation of one of the greatest films ever made.
