The Beverly Theater brings Orson Welles' masterpiece "Citizen Kane" to the big screen in downtown Las Vegas's Arts District. This 1941 film, often cited as one of the greatest movies ever made, tells the story of newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane through a series of flashbacks following his death. The innovative cinematography, deep focus shots, and non-linear narrative were revolutionary for their time and continue to influence filmmakers today.
Watching this classic in The Beverly Theater's intimate 150-seat space offers a chance to experience the film as it was meant to be seen—on a large screen with proper sound. The venue's excellent acoustics and modern projection capabilities do justice to Gregg Toland's groundbreaking black-and-white cinematography and Bernard Herrmann's dramatic score. Whether you're a film student studying the techniques that defined cinema or someone who's always meant to see what the fuss is about, this screening provides that opportunity in one of Las Vegas's premier art house venues.
