Orson Welles on why "Citizen Kane" (1941) was banned in Russia & what he considers to be an obligation of every artist: "Interviewer: In 'Citizen Kane' (1941) and 'Lady from Shanghai' (1947), were you intending to criticize American civilization? Welles: I certainly was. I think every artist has an obligation to criticize his own civilization, his contemporaries. It’s clearly and obviously the task of an artist of any ambition. Every French person ought to criticize the present French civilization. It’s a responsibility. Interviewer: But was it your intention to criticize a capitalistic viewpoint? Welles: The capitalistic viewpoint as opposed to the materialistic view point? If I admitted that I was criticizing capitalism, it would look as if I were adopting a Marxist attitude, and that’s not so. It’s no accident that 'Citizen Kane' (1941) is banned in Russia. They don’t like it at all, any more than the capitalists like it. I am an anti-materialist. I don’t like money or power, or the harm they do to people. It’s a very simple old idea. And I am specially opposed to plutocracy; it’s American plutocracy that I am attacking, from different angles in several films: 'The Magnificent Ambersons' (1942), 'Lady from Shanghai' (1947), and 'Citizen Kane' (1941). Interviewer: And in 'Touch of Evil' (1958)? Welles: There too, but from now on I’m more interested in the abuse of power by the police and the State, because today the State is more powerful than money. So I’m looking for a way of saying that." (Orson Welles' interview with Bazin, Bitsch, Domarchi, 1958) P.S: On this day, 85 years ago, "Citizen Kane" (1941) premiered in New York City, USA.

Orson Welles explains how he sat next to Hitler at a Nazi rally and remembered absolutely nothing about him: In a recorded interview, the legendary filmmaker recalled a strange brush with history from his youth, when he traveled twice through the Austrian-German hiking country with his teachers. One of those teachers, it turned out, was "a sort of a budding Nazi." This was a time when, as Welles put it, the Nazis "were just a very comical kind of minority party of nuts that nobody took seriously at all." But his hiking companion took them very seriously. And when a big Nazi rally was held near Innsbruck, the teacher managed to wangle a place at the table with the leaders of this tiny fringe party. Welles remembered Julius Streicher, the man behind the major anti-Semitic campaigns, and two or three other figures who would later become infamous. And then there was the man seated right next to him. "The man sitting next to me was Hitler, and he made so little impression on me that I can't remember a second of it." When the interviewer asked if Hitler had no personality whatsoever, Welles answered with a single word: "He was invisible." He even wondered aloud whether hypnosis might recover the memory, before dismissing the idea: "No, I think there was nothing there that anybody remembered." That, Welles insisted, was the entire point of the story. Years later the world would watch newsreels of 5,000 people screaming "Sieg Heil Hitler" in unison. But across a dinner table, before the rallies and the uniforms and the cameras did their work, there was simply nothing there to remember.
