{"product_id":"0715515292115","title":"Complete Mr. Arkadin - A.K.A. Confidential Report","description":"Also known as \u003ci\u003eMr. Arkadin\u003c\/i\u003e, this flawed late effort by director Orson Welles recalls the structure of \u003ci\u003eCitizen Kane\u003c\/i\u003e, centering around an investigation into the past of a powerful millionaire. This time around, however, the millionaire is very much alive; in fact, it is Gregory Arkadin (Welles) himself who orders the inquiry, claiming to suffer from amnesia. The investigator soon gets a taste of the difficulty of his task, however, when several witnesses to Arkadin's past suspiciously turn up dead. Indeed, the closer he comes to the truth about Arkadin, the more he fears that he himself may be the next victim.  While it aspires to intense suspense, \u003ci\u003eConfidential Report\u003c\/i\u003e suffers more than most of Welles' films from  budgetary limitations and erratic shooting habits, with the final result often seeming choppy and needlessly confusing.  Nevertheless, any Welles effort is by definition at least partially worthwhile, if only for further demonstration of his brilliant visual sensibility.","brand":"Criterion Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48123608924400,"sku":"0715515292115","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0715515292115_p0.jpg?v=1763519541","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0715515292115","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
