Kubrick by Kubrick
It was actually directed by Gregory Monro. It turned out to be one of these rare documentaries during which the director doesn’t give any comment at all but I actually did appreciate this approach. Above all, it was really awesome to have (at least, to hear) Kubrick himself discussing his own movies. The other people who had worked with Kubrick were also quite interesting but, to be honest, nothing they said was really new to me. Unfortunately, I’m afraid there was just too much ground to cover, especially with only 70 mins and maybe it would have worked better if they did double the running time. I mean, Michel Ciment managed to write a whole book following this interview with the master so there was probably more material available. Anyway, they basically rushed through most of his career, jumping randomly from one masterpiece to another. However, for some reasons, even though they keep hammering the fact that he did direct only 13 movies, in fact, they didn’t even mention 2 of his movies, ‘Killer’s Kiss’ and above all ‘The Killing’ which was actually pretty awesome. And, yet, somehow, they still spent some time on his awful directorial debut, ‘Fear and Desire’, a movie Kubrick himself despised and even considered as amateurish at best. Still, Kubrick was awesome as a filmmaker but even he didn’t seem to be a nice and warm guy, he did seem to be a genius in general and he told some rather fascinating stuff during this documentary.

A good movie

“Since I have always been a huge fan of Stanley Kubrick, I was obviously quite eager to check out this movie. Well, it turned out to be one of these rare documentaries during which the director doesn’t give any comment at all but I actually did appreciate this approach. Above all, it was really awe” read more

An average movie

“To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from the damned thing but since there was a decent cast involved and since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, as expected, the damned thing turned out to be pretty lame, I’m afraid. Basically, they took the concept of ” read more

A good movie

“Since I really loved ‘Saul fia’ (it is easily one of the best movies I have seen during the last 10 years), I was really eager to check László Nemes’s next directorial effort. Well, within a few mins, I immediately recognized his unique directing style. Seriously, where did this guy learn to” read more
