Title: Review of Blu Ray version
Review: Citizen Kane is quite rightly praised as one of the best American movies of all time. That's not the problem; the problem is this Blu Ray print which I find to be overly contrast-y. So much so that there is little detail in the blacks. This is not the way I remember seeing it previously, and I don't believe that the brilliant cinematographer Gregg Toland would approve of this transfer. I also A-B compared it to a previous DVD special edition, and I don't find the resolution of the film much improved in the Blu Ray version. Indeed, I think I prefer the contrast ratio of the DVD version, which in itself I find also is problematic as far as contrast ratio and overall view-ability. Very disappointed.
