Kubrick by Kubrick

2020 · 74 min

A quiet, thoughtful portrait that lets a famously private artist explain himself, rewarding patient viewers with insight into a brilliant mind.

Overview
American filmmaker Stanley Kubrick (1928–1999), one of the greatest in history, but also one of the most reserved, gave few interviews throughout his long career, and none of them were filmed. A first-person journey through his life and work, based on a recorded conversation with French film critic Michel Climent.
