Films of Elia Kazan

"The best performances--of all artists--have been loved into existence." Elia Kazan on acting

Elia Kazan (1909-2003) was a dominant and hugely influential force in the postwar American cinema, whose movies are beloved for their gritty realism, psychological depth, and revolutionary approach to acting. Driven by his background in theater and collaboration with the Actors Studio, he elevated American cinema by exploring raw human emotions, transforming Marlon Brando and James Dean into icons.
