KANE, directed by Christopher Nolan with Timothée Chalamet as Charles Foster Kane, is a cinematic event that honors Welles’ landmark while delivering modern structural innovation and emotional immediacy.
Nolan’s nonlinear mastery and thematic obsession with time, legacy, and human ambition make him the perfect steward for a serious homage.
Chalamet’s fragile intensity captures Kane’s arc from visionary idealist to isolated tyrant better than any current actor.
