Kubrick
the skint |
Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999) was born in NYC, did a stint as a photographer for Look magazine, occasionally played chess for money in the Village, and then became one of the greatest movie directors of all time. It isn't that Kubrick is having a moment right now, it's that Kubrick is always having a moment—his body of work remains a frequent touchstone and reference in popular culture.
Room 237, a "subjective documentary" about The Shining, the many theories about it, and the hidden meanings that may be found therein, just screened at Sundance.
 The Museum of the City of New York and VandM (Vintage and Modern) have recently selected 25 prints of Kubrick's work as a photojournalist for sale in limited editions. They're not cheap (prints start at $250) but they are pretty great. If you want to see some of these works in book form, check out Stanley Kubrick: Drama & Shadows: Photographs 1945-1950.
On February 28th and 29th, BAMcinématek screens Paths of Glory, Kubrick's antiwar movie starring Kirk Douglas, set in WWI. [Not listed yet on the BAM site.]
