Stanley Kubrick - The Works

A visionary, a master of his craft, an artist. Stanley Kubrick is my all time favorite director. For years I’ve rewatched his films MANY times and no films from any other director have affected me the same way Kubrick’s have. Each and every film of his is an experience. Whether it be the spine tingling chills of ’The Shining’ or the tear inducing laughs of ’Dr. Strangelove,’ Kubrick’s films always stick with the viewer. With this edition of ’The Works’ I really wanted to channel what I feel makes Kubrick’s films so special. So here you are, an extra long tribute that chronicles a lifetime of works from one of the greatest filmmakers who ever lived. Stanley, no one will ever make films as timeless as your own. (I apologize for the absence of ’Fear and Desire’ I was unable to obtain a copy of it. But even Kubrick himself stated that he never looked on that film fondly. He saw it as merely a learning exercise). As for a for my next director tribute, I will not be giving out a hint this time. However, you can expect a sneak peek very soon! Everyone loves surprises right?
