dude was a sadist

This might as well be the best Kubrick documentary because it was made before his death. There is this 'rule' that you don't say anything negative about a person who's just died and that 'rule' plagued all the documentaries about him, which were mostly done in 2000s. This one presents varied views on the man without sentimentality. Thank you very much for posting it!

I believe this documentary was originally called 'The Invisible Man'

Pretty sure that's Shelley Duvall doing cocaine offscreen at 10:30, when Kubrick says, "It doesn't help you when you're...", then it pans to her saying, "Yes, it does." He says, "No, it doesn't." She says, "It does." All while she's grinning, wiping out her nostrils with a tissue...

Let's not get carried away. I love Kubrick but there are other directors who also have an equally excellent body of work. Let me name a few: Bergman, Kurosawa, Antonioni, Truffaut, D.W. Griffith, Welles, Huston, etc. Yes, Kubrick was great, but some of his films are dated. There exists a cool Brechtian detachment from the subject matter. Some directors are not afraid to embrace humans more and celebrate their humanity. Let's maintain perspective on this.

I have to say, I never got the message of Clockwork Orange. I assume it is supposed to show how bad and wicked it is to cripple someone emotionally, as a way to treat them instead of imprisonment. But if that was the case it would seem like they made a counterproductive choice by making the victim of this treatment be the most vile and disgusting, psycopathic and unretrievably evil piece of shit ever to be put in a movie. It is kind of difficult to feel sympathy for someone losing their emotions when you think he should have lost his life. The movie itself is a beautiful marvel, though, and the characters and settings are amazingly well realized, and choice of music and cinematography amazing as you always get from Kubrick.

all of the things that guy says at 3:16 make a lot of sense... IF YOU LEAVE OUT BARRY LYNDON FROM YOUR DOCUMENTARY. keep in mind most of these guys were one off collaborators for one or two projects because they wouldnt work for anything else but the chosen one... Its called business. they also neglect that he had a family, traveled fairly regularly, had cats and dogs.. just becuase he wasnt a whore to the insane mainstream media doing backflips they make it sound like he was some crazy guy jerking off in a cave in Buhket... People say the same shit today about Frank Ocean, and those people simply havent a clue what it means to be creative .

maybe malcom mcdowell was just too young for him to be friends? or was annoying/stupid in kubricks opinion? i mean who hasnt had to do that to somebody, let alone most of us arent as busy and obsessive over our work as kubrick was... i dont think these people appreciated the chance to work w him or knew what it would mean for their careers in the long run... I mean mcdowell (as awesome as he is) later went on to do a lot of crappy ass movies like that highschool battle one in the 80s and of course tank girl (which i actually kinda like him in, but god is it a lazy movie)

fail , skipping his best film.

hell yeah this is the best: thank you

Great doc! Thanks for putting it up! I too am surprised how it turns Stan into a 'slave driver' by the end, and his lack of humanity. But at the same time, everyone is so kiss-kiss with Stan now, that to bring up real dirt on him they might struck by lightning. I think Kirk Douglas said it best when he called Stanley a 'talented shit' And there was probably more talent than 'shit' the Enquirer or TMZ would have had a field day with. But doesn't negate the fact there's a few stories that may tarnish Stan's reputation still.

They sure did a great job on the 'Lolita' section.

For what it's worth, Malcom McDowell almost completely ruins Clockwork Orange. Wrong accent, doesn't look threatening and just seemed smarmy. He comes across as full of it.

If you're looking for an interview. He did Playboy.

Malcolm McDowell seems so pompously resentful against Mr. Kubrick. Kinda comes off as a bit of an ass here, IMO.

Why did they skip over Barry Lyndon?? His most beautifully photographed film imo

Very cool, but they completely skipped Barry Lyndon and Full metal jacket?

What an absurd, silly comment from Mr. McDowell. A lack of humanity? There is too much evidence regarding his relationships with family and personal friends that this isn't the case. If we are speaking of the films, I think that is a rather narrow reading of both his films as well as what film art must be to qualify as "genius."

Really excellent documentary.

Thanks a lot for posting this.

a genius should be judged by his art or his contribution to the art, not for his personality. kinda petty by malcolm mcdowell.

thanks so much for the upload.

fantastic stuff ... thanks for loading
