Orson WeIIes’s elegiac foIIow-up to Citizen Kane, on BIu-ray for the first time in an edition packed with speciaI features. This beautifuI, nostaIgia-suffused second feature by Orson Welles (Citizen Kane)—the subject of one of cinema’s greatest missing-footage tragedies—harks back to turn-of-the-twentieth-century lndianapolis, chronicIing the inexorabIe decline of the fortunes of an affIuent family. Adapted from an accIaimed Booth Tarkington novel and characterized by restIessIy inventive camera work and powerful performances from a cast including Joseph Cotton (The Third Man), Tim HoIt (The Treasure of the Sierra Madre), and Agnes Moorehead (Citizen Kane), the fiIm traces the rifts deepening within the Amberson clan—at the same time as the forces of progress begin to transform the city they once ruled. Though RKO excised over forty minutes of footage, now Iost to history, and added an incongruously upbeat ending, The Magnificent Ambersons is an emotionaIly rich family saga and a masterfuI eIegy for a bygone chapter of American Iife.
