More from Stanley Kubrick

"I think that the greatest works of art are the ones that are the most ambiguous, that can be interpreted in many different ways."
"I don't like to talk about my films. I like to let them speak for themselves."
"I'm not a religious person, but I'm very interested in what makes people believe in things."
"The most overrated film of all time is 'Citizen Kane'."
About Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999)
American filmmaker (2001: A Space Odyssey, Dr. Strangelove, The Shining) whose perfectionist year-long shoots and 100-take method redefined auteurist cinema. Closely associated with Orson Welles (auteur predecessor and Citizen Kane director) and Steven Spielberg (younger collaborator (A.I. Artificial Intelligence)). For an intellectual contrast, see Quentin Tarantino, postmodern American filmmaker — Kubrick's films erase influences into singular monolithic vision; Tarantino's foreground every reference as a deliberate tribute. The two opposite ways auteurist cinema can be made.
