	Otto Preminger
		Otto Preminger was born in 1905 (not 1906, as usually reported), the son of a prosecutor for the Austrian Empire.
		Preminger represents the height of the kind of cinema Rivette defines here (which might be called "classical"): one in which bodies, movements, spaces, gestures, and dialogue are contained within an ever-changing unity, the transcendental comprehension of which is both the task of the work and an elusive promise held out by the medium.

	Otto Preminger's "Bonjour Tristesse," by Fred Camper, a Chicago Reader Movie Review
		This review of Otto Preminger's Bonjour Tristesse is also available on the Chicago Reader Web site, in the form that it appeared in the print version of the newspaper, in the issue of September 24, 1999.

		Preminger, by contrast, saw his films as structural wholes; he even brought a lawsuit once when a television station interrupted one of his films with commercials.

		Otto Preminger expanded his vision in the 1960s with a whole series of ambitious, expansive dramas with huge casts and big themes.
		Preminger's style has been hailed as "objective," but it's really a matter of attentiveness: he gives all the character their due and their say, eschewing heroes and villains for an exploration of people clashing over opposing goals.
		Preminger was really daring (for the time) in his willingness to tackle the subject of the flmail of homosexuals in the film.

	Otto Preminger and the End of Classical Cinema
		True, Preminger may have lacked the visionary powers of Welles and Hitchcock or their reflexive handle on film form, but as their contemporary during the Studio period his film style is just as distinctive, and at times he could be just as daring.
		Yet Preminger’s vision is one that challenges the conceptual oppositions within film criticism made to fit the period: André Bazin’s juxtaposition of realism and Hollywood, David Bordwell’s juxtaposition of classical and art-cinema narration, Gilles Deleuze’s juxtaposition of the movement-image and the time-image that mark the transition between classical and modern cinema.
		Preminger’s refusal to cut and his rejection of the close-up in favour of the long shot are quite pitiless.

		The public persona of Austrian-born Otto Preminger has epitomized for many the typical Hollywood movie director: an accented, autocratic, European-born disciplinarian who terrorized his actors, bullied his subordinates, and spent millions of dollars to ensure that his films be produced properly, although economically.
		Preminger's tastes have always been as eclectic as the disparate sources from which his films have been adapted.
		Preminger's style, though apparently invisible, is one which forces the audience to examine, to discern, to arrive at some ultimate position.
