Born in Turin, Italy, Milena Canonero studied art, design history and costume design before moving to England and working in small theatre and film productions.Director Stanley Kubrick provided her first job as a costume designer for his film A Clockwork Orange, and she went on to design the elegant period costumes for Barry Lyndon, for which she won an Academy Award. Other films of hers include Godfather III, Out of Africa, Tucker, Dick Tracy, and, more recently, Titus, and The Affair of the Necklace.Director Julie Taymor has commented that her film Titus is based on a Shakespeare play that is not neat or safe, where goodness triumphs over evil, but one in which, through relentless horror, the undeniable poetry of human tragedy emerges in full force, demanding that we examine the very root of violence and judge its various acts.
