Philipp van Endert Trio: Rosebud

Read "Rosebud" reviewed by Douglas Payne

Cinema has long since rendered the word “rosebud" as something elusive and enigmatic, that cannot possibly sum up what others want it to. From the moment that Orson Welles whispers the word in the 1941 film Citizen Kane, a mysterious journey of the purely unknowable is embarked upon. But what a journey.
