All summer long celebrate the artistry of three legendary filmmakers: John Waters, Vincente Minnelli, and Elia Kazan- on the big screen!Gigi (1958) - July 19
Vincente Minnelli's sumptuous Parisian fairy tale, waltzes through the Belle Époque with a rebellious spirit cloaked in elegance. Starring Leslie Caron as the spirited Gigi, this musical romp bursts with lavish sets, vibrant costumes, and unforgettable melodies by Lerner and Loewe. Minnelli weaves a satirical tale of love and societal expectations, turning the conventional romance on its head with a wink and a smile. "Gigi" is a riot of color and charm, a punkishly playful critique of tradition wrapped in the glamorous veneer of Old World Paris, making it a timeless and subversive classic.
Vincente Minnelli
Vincente Minnelli, the maestro of Technicolor dreams, crafted films that were a riot of vibrant hues and swirling emotions. Known for his lush musicals and lavish melodramas, Minnelli's style is a dazzling spectacle where every frame is a masterpiece of art direction and visual flair. His films, like "Meet Me in St. Louis" and "An American in Paris," are a sensory overload, blending sweeping romance with meticulously choreographed sequences. Minnelli's direction is a high-wire act of elegance and innovation, making every moment feel like an extravagant celebration of life. In a world of gritty realism, Minnelli's work is a rebellious burst of opulence and fantasy, reminding us that cinema can be as grand and enchanting as our wildest dreams.
