This DVD is now available on its own. Previously one had to purchase the box set of most of his films to get it. Directors Stephen Spielberg, Martin Scorcese, Sydney Pollack, and Woody Allen all comment on Kubrick and his films, as do various collaborators and actors who appeared in Kubrick films. The documentary traces Kubrick's life and life's work in chronological fashiion, and includes still photographs as well as scenes from the rarely seen "Fear and Desire" and "Killer's Kiss". Tom Cruise narrates parts of the film. A wonderful look at Kubickiana, but not much new thinking or information.
Follow Ups:
how few pictures he did(relatively speaking) and the impact he was able to leave. He was the master at conveying a certain 'tone' or 'feeling' within each film whether it be fear, confusion, curiousity or just plain uneasiness. I wish I could look forward to another Kubrick release. Is there anyone close to his style that I should watch for?
Scorcese did a documentary on film a few years back, though I can't quite remember the title. It was something like "A Journey through Film, A Personal View." Someone please correct me.His comments on a scene in Barry Lyndon were quite insightful, and indicative of the high regard in which he held Kubrick. It's the scene in which Barry and Lady Lyndon first encounter eachother on the balcony. He noted that, despite its utter lack of dialog, its scant movement and action, it was one of the most powerfully emotional scenes he'd ever seen. He want up a few notches in my book that day.
Fellini, too, before he died, marvelled in an interview on Kubrick's "visual power", and his ability to create totally believable immersible worlds in so many different genres, horror, science fiction, historical, war, and so on.
The Scocese documentary nis called "A personal Journey with Martin Scocese Through American Movies". At one point he says, "We are all children of Griffiths and Kubrick".I don't think any other director was more admired by his peers than Kubrick
Yes! Thanks for reminding me of that quote. I'll be sure to refer to it again.
