Repute pour son gout de la demesure (La Grande Parade, Duel au soleil, Le Rebelle), King Vidor a traverse les epoques et les genres du cinema hollywoodien classique. De La Foule et d’Hallelujah a Salomon et la reine de Saba, il a marque l’histoire du cinema de son empreinte. Poete epique pour ses admirateurs, raciste et fasciste pour ceux que heurtent Le Grand Passage ou Le Rebelle, Vidor echappe aux etiquettes. Taxes de misogynie, ses melodrames (Stella Dallas, Ruby Gentry) sont aujourd’hui relus et rehabilites par les feministes. Cineaste de la violence et du desir, Vidor se fait, dans Guerre et paix, portraitiste amoureux d’Audrey Hepburn. Artiste personnel au coeur d’un systeme standardise, il est peut-etre avant tout le premier veritable auteur du cinema americain.
