  • ENGLISH DOSSIER DE PRESSE Stanley Kubrick
    “If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed. A director is a kind of idea and taste machine ; a movie is a series of creative and technical decisions, and it‘s the director‘s job to make the right decisions as frequently as possible.” EDITORIAL Our flagship exhibition in 2011 is devoted to Stanley Kubrick (from 23 March to 31 July). It is the first time that La Cinémathèque française hosts a travelling exhibition not initiated by our teams but by those of another institution. This Kubrick exhibition owes its existence to the Deutsches Filmmuseum in Frankfurt and to Hans- Peter Reichmann, its Curator, who designed it in 2004 in close collaboration with Christiane Kubrick, Jan Harlan and The Stanley Kubrick Archive in London. Since 2004, the exhibition has opened with success in several cities: Berlin, Zurich, Gand, Rome and Melbourne, before coming to the Cinémathèque. The archives of Stanley Kubrick contain numerous and precious working documents: scenarios, correspondences, research documents, photos of film shoots, costumes and accessories. The exhibition, film after film, includes the unfinished projects: the Napoleon that Kubrick hoped to direct and his project for a film on the death camps, Aryan Papers . These materials allow us to get backstage and better understand the narrative and technical intentions of the director who was a demigod of world cinema, a secret and fascinating figure. The exhibition will be installed on two floors of the Frank Gehry building, on the 5 th and 7 th storeys, owing to the bulk of the materials exhibited, including large-scale models and interactive digital installations.

He also suggested that had Kubrick survived into the 21st century he would not only have chosen TV as a medium to work in, he would also have contributed to the contemporary post-millennium zeitgeist of cinematic TV drama. There has been little news on the development of the project since and we are left to speculate how this cinematic spectacle eventually may (or may not) turn out on the “small screen”. Alison Castle’s monolithic edited collection of research and production material surrounding Napoleon4 gives some idea of the scale, ambition and problematic nature of re-purposing such a momen- tous project for television.

  • Kubrick by Kubrick (2020) Un Mosaico Di Materiali D'archivio Che Si Ritaglia Un Posto Nella Folta Schiera Di Ammiratori Del Maestro
    Kubrick By Kubrick (2020) Un mosaico di materiali d'archivio che si ritaglia un posto nella folta schiera di ammiratori del Maestro. Un film di Gregory Monro Genere Documentario durata 72 minuti. Produzione Polonia, Francia 2020. Un ritratto intimo e privato di Stanley Kubrick. Uno sguardo speciale sul mondo di un grande regista. Ascoltiamo una voce rimasta a lungo inedita. Raffaella Giancristofaro - www.mymovies.it Per circa vent'anni il critico cinematografico e giornalista parigino Michel Ciment, direttore della rivista specializzata "Positif", ha studiato il lavoro di Stanley Kubrick, intervistandolo più volte, in particolare su quattro dei suoi tredici lungometraggi: 'Arancia meccanica', 'Barry Lyndon', 'Shining' e 'Full Metal Jacket'. Le loro conversazioni, registrate su nastro, una volta trascritte hanno dato corpo a un autorevole volume monografico (edito in Italia da Milano Libri per la prima volta nel 1981, poi ripubblicato da Rizzoli nel 2007 in una versione ampliata). L'attore e sceneggiatore Gregory Monro (già autore di speciali su Calamity Jane, Jerry Lewis, Michel Legrand), riscoperti quegli audio, nel frattempo digitalizzati, ha colto l'opportunità per ridare letteralmente voce al regista e cucire attorno ad essa una nuova narrazione. In ossequioso atteggiamento verso Ciment e il suo privilegio di un dialogo prolungato con uno dei più enigmatici creatori di immagini, il film si offre come un mosaico di soli materiali d'archivio (estratti dai film, foto e interviste coeve). Dando per scontata la conoscenza dell'opera kubrickiana, con questa sintesi parziale Monro si ritaglia un posto nella folta schiera di ammiratori, collaboratori e studiosi (tra cui va nominato Filippo Ulivieri, creatore di archiviokubrick.it) che nei due decenni dalla morte del regista (1999) hanno ragionato sul suo opus.

  • The Dharma Blues
    Journal of Religion & Film Volume 6 Issue 1 April 2002 Article 6 April 2002 The Dharma Blues Robert Castle [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf Recommended Citation Castle, Robert (2002) "The Dharma Blues," Journal of Religion & Film: Vol. 6 : Iss. 1 , Article 6. Available at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol6/iss1/6 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by DigitalCommons@UNO. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Dharma Blues Abstract So much attention was given to the ratings controversy for Stanley Kubrick's film, Eyes Wide Shut, that a problem with the film for members of the Hindu faith was almost entirely ignored. So worried were people about the images of the infamous orgy scene at the Long Island Mansion, that they failed to notice that the music composed for that scene generated its own protest - enough protest to cause the film to be altered for its releases outside of the United States and for both video and DVD sales. The Hindu protest, however, might have positive, if unexpected, results. The protest revealed that the music included a shloka from the Bhagwad Gita, bringing public attention to this sacred text. But, once this shloka is identified, its connection ot the movie can be determined and, on artistic grounds, it seems that the shloka makes an important contribution to our understanding of the movie. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol6/iss1/6 Castle: The Dharma Blues Stanley Kubrick's last movie, Eyes Wide Shut, generated a serious battle over its rating between Warner Brothers and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).

Each of these theorists has grappled with the overarching concept of fidelity, the status of film as autonomous art, the status of film authorship, and textual primacy. Secondly, I apply the current scholarship on Adaptation Theory to the work of film auteur, Stanley Kubrick.

  • Emilio D'alessandro with Filippo Ulivieri, Stanley Kubrick
    Reviews Cinergie – Il cinema e le altre arti. N.12 (2017) https://doi.org/10.6092/issn.2280-9481/7560 ISSN 2280-9481 Emilio D’Alessandro with Filippo Ulivieri, Stanley Kubrick and Me: Thirty Years at His Side. Translated by Simon Marsh. New York: Arcade Publishing, 2016 Nathan Abrams* Published: 4th December 2017 Given the wealth of scholarship on Stanley Kubrick, there are surprisingly few biographies of him. So far, we have Vincent LoBrutto’s excellently researched tome. That was followed by Stanley Baxter’s less-extensively researched book, one which relied heavily on interviews, and which took a much more jaundiced approach than LoBrutto’s. Neither author benefited from the voluminous material located at the Stanley Kubrick Archive at the University of the Arts in London. There has also been various memoirs from his screenwriting collaborat- ors, including Diane Johnson, Michael Herr and, most controversially, Frederic Raphael. However, apart from the odd interview and essay, we have never had a full-blown account from anyone within the inner Kubrick circle – that constellation of individuals who were located closest to the director. This includes those who were given space on Kubrick’s sprawling estate at Childwickbury – Jan Harlan, Tony Frewin, Leon Vitali and, of course, his wife and family. But, with the arrival of Emilio D’Alessandro’s memoir, Stanley and Me, and Filmworker (dir. Tony Zierra, 2017), a documentary about Vitali, we now have two different, yet invaluable, perspectives on Kubrick, perspectives from some of those who were closest to him. D’Alessandro was Kubrick’s driver and handyman for many years.
