Vincente Minnelli: a Story of Taste and Style

9 March 2010 387 views No Comment

Vincente Minnelli is remembered as one of American cinema’s most distinctive and creative visual stylists. His lavish use of color and, in the 1950s, widescreen, was praised by French critics who deemed him a master of “mise-en-scène.” A generation of younger American filmmakers, including Martin Scorsese (whose 1977 New York, New York starring Vincente and Judy Garland’s daughter Liza Minnelli, contains many touches in homage to Minnelli) has cited him as an influence. His best-known screen work was done in the musical genre, where he also worked as a stage director before going to Hollywood.
