For Monro’s Kubrick on Kubrick, decoding Kubrick’s films with the director’s own words serves as an excellent chance to write his own artful tale
Nobody knows what the future holds for AI but it will continue to evolve and show audiences new possibilities that were once unthinkable.
As the 40th anniversary of The Shining nears, we have watched and ranked all of Stanley Kubrick’s theatrical releases.
Plenty of legendary films have gone home empty-handed, so to remind ourselves just how precious this year’s ceremony really was, we’re taking a look back at some of the best movies that were up for Oscars but somehow won nothing.
Frank H. Wu’s mother, an immigrant from China via Taiwan, used The Shining to teach about right and wrong to her young son.
Where Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Oddysey was visionary and original, 2010: The Year We Make Contact failed to compete with the monolith that casts quite a shadow.
With a re-release on 70mm, we look back at the sci-fi classic 2001: A Space Odyssey, which continues to astound after 50 years.
In the 20th episode of the Film Inquiry Podcast, we delve into the works of the great Stanley Kubrick.
In this era of allegations of sexual misconduct, many have started to question the status quo. However, as with any problem as complex as this, there are far more symptoms than the obvious that need addressing, such as the age disparity in casting.
In this interview Josh Boles, the writer behind the mockumentary directed by Matt Johnson called Operation Avalanche, we discuss conspiracy theories, Kubrick, and more.
Stanley Kubrick’s classic sci-fi epic, 2001: A Space Odyssey, is a fictional transcendence of classic Greek mythos through the ubiquity of the motion picture camera. As the film’s title suggests, this is Greek philosopher Homer’s The Odyssey told on the grandest of scales and sparing no expense that 20th Century cinema had to offer.
In the fast-paced world of show business, projects are announced before swiftly being cancelled every day. Yet there are some film projects that obsess their creators for years, always on the verge of getting made, before the cinematic powers that be decide otherwise. This article is a celebration of the best movies never made – films that would have been surefire masterpieces, that generations of film fans have had to resort to merely imagining existing.
There’s no arguing that if you have even a mild interest in film, you’ve likely heard of Stanley Kubrick. You’ve probably even seen at least one of his films, or, barring that, maybe some of the more famous clips (especially if you’re a film student). So my approach to this “Beginner’s Guide” is to recommend that you forget all that.
In cinema, age-gap relationships have been forever on display, from Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall to those seen throughout Woody Allen’s cinematic adventures (including his most recent Magic in the Moonlight). The age-gap relationship often takes the form of an older man and a younger girl, though there are the exceptions (take a look at The Graduate). Aside from the problematic conventions of the leading men ageing and the women remaining youthful in looks and spirit, the age-gap film poses questions about sexuality that mainstream Hollywood often shies away from.
Remake. The very word can send a shiver down a film fan’s spine. It’s just a further sign that Hollywood is no longer original, that they must pillage classics for ideas to recycle.
