Onlangs werd aangekondigd dat Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane de eerste 4K Ultra HD-uitgave wordt van de prestigieuze Criterion Collection en nu is de cover onthuld.

Daarop zijn enkel de letter ‘K’, de titel van de film en Welles’ naam te zien en op Twitter wordt massaal de draak gestoken met het minimalistische ontwerp.

Een greep uit de reacties:
