Madame Bovary (1949) – Vincente Minnelli

“I would not maintain that many were, nor that Hollywood films en bloc became in some sense more ‘naturalist.’ I would argue, however, that some of the most prominent stylistic and narrative features of the naturalist films recurred in other generic contexts. Thus, in discussions of films otherwise quite remote from naturalist concerns, one finds praise for simple over complex plots, for dedramatized scenes and situations, and for restrained modes of storytelling. It would be decades before the Hollywood cinema readily accepted (and could prevent the censorship of) the sort of frankly salacious material to be found in Greed or The Salvation Hunters. But across a wide spectrum of Hollywood filmmaking in the 1920s one finds a rejection of blatantly didactic or highly moralized narratives.”
