I had the privilege of preparing his estate for the funeral. The company i worked for supplied the power and heating for the marquee that Alexander talks of. I stood in Kubricks kitchen and had tea and toast with Stanley's widow and son in law and even on that day, they were so intent on honouring Stanley. There was no sadness even as they began to dig his grave. It was very surreal but at the same time very moving. RIP Stanley
Alex Walker was my favourite film critic, from the late 60’s / early 70’s and Stanley Kubrick is my favourite director, from the moment I saw 2001 (in 1968.) A very late thank you for posting this - can’t work out why I’ve not seen it before. (Although there is a lot of stuff on Kubrick, UA-cam’s search algorithm can be very flakey sometimes.)
This is a tale of Stan the Man Told some time after he kicked the can Of film and anecdotes from all his fans And stars for which he also ran To wind up flooring us all We had a Kubrick ball
Excellent video. Is there any recording of the adresses given that day? I'm sure some of them would be interesting to read (even for a complete stranger like myself, just to think about Mr.Kubrick legacy i suppose).
I cannot believe the timeline between Mr Kubrick finishing Eyes Wide Shut and his sudden death. Spooky, just as the cloaked orgy is at the end of the film.
After more than twenty years finally the docuseries Stanley and Us returns! "The Pinocchio Project" is the first episode of the new series Stanleyandus, dedicated to the life and work of Stanley Kubrick. Watch it here: vimeo.com/ondemand/thepinocchioproject/ It is the story of an unrealised project ("A. I."), a dream, that Stanley Kubrick worked on for more than twenty years. The story of a robot child who wants to become human and be loved. The writers who collaborated on this dream describe their long and sometimes frustrating collaboration with the great director, helping us to discover Kubrick's thoughts on artificial intelligence and humanity as a whole, and understand why this 20-years dream remained unfulfilled. With Brian Aldiss (sci-fi writer), Ian Watson (sci-fi writer), Sarah Maitland (writer), Jan Harlan, brian Hobbs, Alexander Walker. Watch it here: vimeo.com/ondemand/thepinocchioproject/ Review by D. Powers. "A documentary that gives insight into the creative process and working with collaborators, as fascinating when it doesn't pan out as when it does. In-depth interviews overlaid with beautiful, well-crafted animations lead the viewer on a meditative journey to reflect upon why, after 20 years of pre-production, Stanley gave up the project that eventually became Spielberg's AI." Review by Enzo Sallustro, former RAI TV executive "What do "Waiting for Godot" and "Stanley and Us" have in common? Anticipation: Godot's and Kubrick's. Both will not manifest themselves. Waiting is a form of storytelling, #Beckett, #Barthes, #Nabokov, #Camus, #Handke and #Kafka know something about it. Kafka claimed that his life was nothing but "a wait before birth". In one of her extraordinary short stories Dorothy Parker writes, "When the phone didn't ring, I knew right away it was you." This is exactly the core of Stanley and Us. While waiting, Greco-Landini-Di Flaviano manage to get close to relatives, friends and Kubrick's closest collaborators, and we discover the world around him, both intimate and professional. The wait, here, is not resolved in an empty turn, but in a true story, truer than the truth. In "Awaiting Oblivion" Maurice Blanchot speaks of the "wait filled by waiting, filled-deluded by waiting". Waiting imparts lessons to our despair and our hope, but to postpone does not mean to give up and after watching "Stanley and Us" we know something more about Kubrick, an excellent achievement, perhaps the only one possible."

What happens if they sold the house-would they move the grave? Same with Rik Mayall. Buried on his own farmyard. Not exactly hallowed ground. Just so the fans can't visit. Selfish.

Dave--are YOU still alive ?
A very sad day.....for me too. stew fmj crew.
Yeah, i SAW.

I have always loved Kubrick. A lot.
Pump Up The Jam brought me here. 🤣
😄
cant believe Mr walker passed away a few months later after this was published, he seemed so healthy
Yes so sad too in 2005. stew fmj crew
Steven Spielberg also showed the scene from Paths Of Glory with Kubrick's wife singing
This is a tale of Stan the Man
Told some time after he kicked the can
Of film and anecdotes from all his fans
And stars for which he also ran
To wind up flooring us all
We had a Kubrick ball
Mr Walker grew up in Portadown, Northern Ireland - a mere eight miles from my own hometown.
I just love these videos. Amazing information about one of the greatest film directors who ever lived...
me too
Thank you for these wonderful insights, what a great channel!
I don't know what to say to this. Just, Wow!
Nice send off for the man.
Very articulate, insightful and touching. Thank you! :)
respect
Now that's how you tell a story. Bravo.
Excellent video. Is there any recording of the adresses given that day? I'm sure some of them would be interesting to read (even for a complete stranger like myself, just to think about Mr.Kubrick legacy i suppose).
In my humble opinion, 2001 Space Odyssey is the greatest film of all times.

No Pump up the Jam?? 😭😭😭

Doesn't Alexander Walker's voice sound a bit like that of Arthur C Clarke?
✅☑️
How did he die?
heart attack
