documentary about stanley kubrick

Stanley Kubrick, a well-known American director, screenwriter and producer, has directed a number of acclaimed and somewhat controversial films, and the industry remembers him as a withdrawn perfectionist about whose life very little is known.

Still, director Gregory Monro, a documentary filmmaker known for making films about Hollywood icons like James Stewart, Jerry Lewis and many others, has spent many years studying and analyzing the many conversations Kubrick has had with film critics, actors and other collaborators. created a long-awaited documentary about one of the most important visionaries of world cinema. The film was originally scheduled to be screened at the Tribeca Film Festival this year, but like many other events, it was canceled due to the current coronavirus pandemic that has swept the world. The backbone of the film itself is conversations with French film critic Michel Cimento, who was the editor of the French film magazine Positif, and who conducted many interviews with Kubrick over three decades that, thanks to Kubrick, escaped the press.

And while Kubrick gained the status of the most watched filmmaker to ever work in Hollywood, the opportunity for the public to hear Kubrick’s own words was almost non-existent, so we can’t wait for the first Stanley film to see the light of day and allow us to meet him in something more private edition.
