"Rosebud... Rosebud!"

Rating: 1/10 (24 February 2009)

This film is about a man who has a vision to open a chain of florists called 'Rosebud' across America. However, his efforts are thwarted by another company, Interflora.
Kane(Welles) decides to fight against the multi conglomerate and becomes a one man army. He isolates himself in his apartment and begins training himself for the inevitable bloodbath to follow.
Meanwhile a young prostitute catches his eye and he promises to deliver her from her life under a seedy pimp. His descent into madness continues when he decides to eliminate a political candidate.
The film wallows in the seedy side of the floral business and eventually erupts into a violent climax in a brothel.
Kane is shot in the neck and collapses to the floor. A man without hope. A man robbed of his floral delivery service. A victim of a national conglomerate prepared to do anything to stop him. The common man once again contained.
Lying in a pool of blood, Kane has a vision. A solitary rosebud, which haunts him in his final moments of consciousness.
" Rosebud...rosebud...we nearly made it...Damn you, Interflora...Rosebud... Rosebud." An average movie, drowning in it's own weighty legacy.
