More from Stanley Kubrick
"I've always been fascinated by the dark side of human nature. I think it's important to explore that, to understand it, even if it's uncomfortable."
"I think that art should be disturbing, it should make you question things, it should make you uncomfortable."
"I've got a peculiar weakness for criminals and artists. Neither takes life as it is. Any tragic story has to be in conflict with things as they are."
"I have a wife, three children, three dogs, seven cats. I'm not a Franz Kafka, sitting alone and suffering."
"You can't make a movie for the critics. You have to make it for yourself and hope that enough people like it."
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.
