 Meet Me in St. Louis (Bfi Film Classics) - Gerald Kaufman
Gerald Kaufman's monograph on Vincente Minnelli's extraordinary 1944 musical purports to be a celebration of a great film and its multi-talented director.
Kaufman either believes this, and so shouldn't be writing this book; or he doesn't, but has an inferiority complex about the relative cultural worth of the musical, and definitely shouldn't be writing it.
Minnelli's style - which Kaufman recognises but misunderstands, characterising it as 'ostentatious' and 'glossy' - is so meticulously orchestrated because it expresses the characters' inner lives, their joys, dreams, desires, fantasies, fears (Minnelli himself said his mises-en-scenes were purposely designed to invade the unconscious of the audience, which Kaufman notes but doesn't seem to understand).
