"Minnelli's cinema contains many moments designed to enchant the spectator..." -Joe McElhaney, Senses of Cinema
Few directors harnessed the explosive visual and emotional capacities of the widescreen, Technicolor frame as fully as Vincente Minnelli. A master stylist who honed his craft in the theater, Minnelli brought an eye for elaborate mise-en-scène and an intensity of feeling to some of the most spectacular films ever produced in Hollywood. This retrospective collects both the classic musicals that earned him his reputation, as well as the subversive and deeply personal melodramas that reveal the sensitive soul of one of cinema's greatest artists.
Proudly presented in conjunction with the Festival del film Locarno.Featured Works:
