More from Stanley Kubrick
"The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent."
"The thing about movies is that they're a reflection of life, but they're also a way of escaping from it."
"No. To see a film once and write a review is an absurdity. Yet very few critics ever see a film twice or write about films from a leisurely, thoughtful perspective."
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
"I like to think of myself as a storyteller. That's what I am, essentially."
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.
