Stanley Kubrick: Behind the Scenes with Jan Harlan and Michael Stock

[@samcostello2861]

Jan Harlan is a very charismatic guy. We're lucky to have someone like him to tell Kubrick's story.

[@Velvet0Starship2013]

Jesus... an interviewer who listens more than he talks! Beautiful!

[@robbob6629]

yea that chick is all ears

[@pete49327]

I noticed that too, no constant interruptions, he let Harlan tell his wonderful remembrances.

[@JohnTaylor-pj2mr]

What a fascinating interview with just a few good questions, leaving this dream of an interviewee to do the rest! Jan really is as relaxed, charming and clear-sighted in real life as he seems here. As a young man I was for a time his neighbour and classical guitar teacher, and will never forget the kindness and hospitality that he and his family showed to me then. Now, 40-odd years after that period between Barry Lyndon and The Shining, it's great to see his energy and passion undimmed.

"obsessive is not a negative thing, for someone to be called a perfectionist is a complement" - "some people always say he was obsessive or a perfectionist as if it was something bad" - " Claude Monet's did so many paintings of water lilies was he obsessive about water lilies?...I suppose so, he certainly loved it or he wouldn't have done it in different lights morning and afternoon all the time and I think that makes an artist" ..................This was a lovely interview!

[@markusmanstroma3156]

Perfect interview. Thank you for asking great questions and then allowing Harlan to flow with the answers. Bravo!

what i would give to watch "Napoleon" - by Stanley Kubrick

[@yp3424]

Indeed. Nonetheless, Kubrick,probably assessing the movie market situation, he knew they had already been 2 films on napoleonic wars: 1st/ S. Bondartchuk's masterpiece "War and Peace", which won an Academy award, and, 2nd/ "Waterloo", a multinational production directed by Bondartchuk. Had he created his own "Napoleon" he would have been undoubtedly epic.

[@ArnoGoldfinger]

Great interview, can never get enough of this type of thing.

[@jforjf]

Thank you. This is one of the best interviews that have been done with Jan.

[@SCIArcChannel]

[@pete49327]

The tragedy of old age is not that one is old but that one is young ~ Stanley Kubrick 💖 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@tonywords6713]

very good interview

[@timgerard262]

Such a rare thing, interviewer letting the guest speak!

[@keilnirby]

"The greater the artist, the more respect FOR others." Notice he does not say from others.

[@MKD371]

The irony is that the way films are made today have a vast amount of technical trickery, some of which can obtained in an efficient way compared to a film made in the 60s. Obsession or attention to detail is part of the course when doing anything creative, I would imagine.

[@juancarlosgonzalezjr]

Fantastic!

[@jorgereyna1796]

Great interview

[@SCIArcChannel]

[@zovalentine7305]

Rest in powerful peace Stanley Kubrick 🙏 26 July 1928 ~ 7 March 1999⚘

[@KenoSNeal]

"Stanley was a world artist." that hits hard.

[@chickenflavor9880]

I wish stanley kubrick lived at least 20 more years.

[@rudewalking]

amazing

[@JoshuaCraigStrain]

Nice

[@Theomite]

I don't know how the fuck you make a decision about a Kubrick movie based on the failure of a DeLaurentis movie. IT'S KUBRICK!!! Even in 1973, he was a legend!

[@cicolasnage5684]

You must not understand the studio system, there was money lost on Waterloo so they look at the market to see what floats and what doesn’t. Legend or not money talks in Hollywood, if it doesn’t turn a profit then things get cut. Plenty of unrealized projects from legendary directors based on the market of the era. He ended up doing a period piece drama which bombed hard. As lovely as Barry Lyndon is it just performed terribly.

[@rustneversleeps85]

Scorsese is more of a legend today than what Kubrick was in 1973 and Scorsese can still barely find funding.

[@Thespeedrap]

I would like to have Jan Harlen be my producer who knows London seems to be the place to be

[@chickenflavor9880]

Stanley Kubrick is the best

[@Onneff69]

"....in 1970, at that point, stereo film had already become the standard..." ?? Not true at all. Not until many years later, in fact.

[@JRFlynn-rp2xg]

Garth is asking some pretty good questions

[@Thespeedrap]

I say 21st century is about survival and standing out.

[@zovalentine7305]

Napoleon would have been awesome, of course.

[@markhirstwood4190]

The German government backed the DFF to do the exhibition... wow.

[@billyjesus5442]

where is stanley

[@Tolstoy111]

He died in 1999

[@Brascofarian]

That tattoo must have been mind numbingly painful and looks like he's wearing some kind of sheer ladies glove or something.

[@1qwasz12]

At least Soyboy didn't talk much. BTW, IT was Walter Carlos during ACO; not Wendy.

[@Onneff69]

I think her operation was done sometime between "Switched-On Bach II" (1973) and the "By Request" album ('75).

you gotta come up with a higher-resolution profile pic, that one you got now is an embarrassment
