I met the cinematographer on The shining, full metal jacket and eyes wide shut yesterday at a film festival. He was the one who told me to listen to this interview. So glad he did. My God Kubrick comes across as someone who is extremely sharp and ultra intelligent. He actually seems like he has a great sense of humour too, which I wouldn't have thought.
That casually derisive "You probably haven't seen the picture" at 31:57. And then proceeds to tell the interviewer how his own life went down. Kubrick is amazing.
I knew he was American, but wow... I didn't expect him to sound like this. I always imagined him being much more stern and deep-voiced, as befitting his infamously cold and demanding nature.
actually his "cold and demanding" nature was very misinterpreted. With most to his actors he was extremely giving and open to them bringing ideas to the table. What he was most rigid about was the camera department, the art department and his ritual rehearsals. He was a firm believer in giving actors TIME to absorb the sets he creates for them and allows them to ACT. He just believed that religious rehearsing was a way to achieve that. Actors like Malcom Macdowell had nothing but wonderful words to say about him as a director and how he's more than giving and nice.

So right! Few people pick up on that! (most notably, specifically, in the scene on the veranda of the hotel Humbert takes Lolita before she's aware her mother is dead, where Humbert has an encounter with a stranger... Quilty... in the dark)

+Stormy Molnjavichen Yeah, so much so that he let another guy go around for years impersonating him and talking to reporters and people using his name and he didn't care. He liked it.

I find it interesting reading about how many of these directors got started. I feel like back in the 60s it was so difficult to make a movie, that if you could actually make a feature you pretty much got noticed by the studios. Where as today, everyone can make films with the widely available cheap tech. I wonder if these directors would have "made it" in todays world ~ getting started that is. It seems most up and coming directors today were born into hollywood.
I believe you're right. On the other hand, making it to Hollywood seems overrated and no longer relevant today. In a way, if you self-publish truly high quality stuff you could earn a more dedicated following than in the mainstream, where people mostly go to forgettable movies for a quick thrill and to kill time. Assuming you don't need a tremendous budget to get started that is. If you're a talented and well-practiced writer, and you have a basic inexpensive camera (from eBay), and decent actors...well what was I getting at...
But movies are so much more like a product now than before. Everything is. Music, any art. Not that it wasn't a problem in Kubrick's time. But now, it's the absolute norm.
Thank you so much for this video. I watch/listen to it every day (its normally in the background when im studying haha), I love Kubrick's voice and the way he talks, he's so interesting
Peter Sellers is totally doing Kubrick in Lolita as Claire Quilty. It's amazing. He sounds like him (Kubrick) again in Dr. Strangelove as President Merkin Muffly.
This is an excellent interview. For me, the Dr. Strangelove discussion at 46:47 is my favorite part, mainly because it’s my favorite Kubrick film and favorite comedy of all time.
it is not overstating the fact, that this guy's creative art sparked all that logical thinking my dad tried to embed in me for years. His films hit a certain vibration that kind of catches your reasoning off guard. It causes you to have to use that problem solving part of your brain. Grateful.
I interviewed Arthur C. Clarke, Gary Lockwood and Keir Dullea. I attended the opening night screening of `2001` at the old Astor Cinema in New York. This is the screening where 250 Warner Bros executives walked out after which Kubrick trimmed the film.
Imagine being on the receiving end of it like Lucien Ballard was on the set of "The Killing." "Put the camera where I told you, with the lens that I asked for or get off the set and don't come back."
Cheers! Always good to listen to this again. Kubrick's outlook will never grow old 👍 Also, LOOK magazine never had an 'apprentice photographer' before - or after - Stanley Kubrick.
Kubrick’s works are of such a monumental nature that literally anything he’d hoped to make but didn’t (the Napoleon film in particular), it feels like a huge loss they weren’t made! This of course could be said of any great artist though. The Napoleon thing would almost definitely have been a truly great film, likely standing out even among his own films, because it was so deeply researched and so close to his heart. I believe it was one of his greatest interests and passions to make it and it would have been off the charts epic. Barry Lyndon was awesome though and of a similar genre.
what's even stranger and equally interesting - regarding his accent and cadence - is you will notice on the Making of The Shining directed by Vivian Kubrick, Danny Torrance / Danny Lloyd also shares a virtually identical child-version of this vocal inflection. VERY cool.
listen to an interview from her about it she says that was the best thing that happened to her as an actor and she will always thank him because it made her give the best performance of her life

people say his movies are too long, maybe their lives aren't long enough for long movies. Maybe nobody in the world has time left. As life goes on people beleive that time is running out more.
I didn't picture him as being someone who would speak so clearly. I guess I pictured him muttering intellectually or something. There's also a brightness to his voice , I pictured him sounding a little darker
if you listen .. think about how much his speech sounds like the president character in Dr Strangelove. I think Sellers may have been doing an impression of Kubrick when doing the president character.
Wow he didnt read a book for pleasure after higschool i got into reading at about 17. And here i was feeling bad because of that. Kubrick is such an inspiration for me wanting to make one great film, Clockwork to me being one of the greatest films ever. Kubrick's 9th Symphony, no pun. RIP Hero.
Saul Cifuentes Jazz I didnt read a book for pleasure until i was 22. It was a A Clockwork Orange. Blew me away. You should definitely read it if you get the chance.
Listening to this and realizing that not only are my favorite films all produced between 1968 and 1978 but so are many of my favorite albums. Would love to see that topic (the blossoming of cinema its halcyon days from the late 60s to late 70s) explored in film if anyone has any suggestions for viewing.
Stanley Kubrick movies get better every time you watch them. You play one of his movies 5-10 years later and appreciate it so much more. What’s you’re favorite Kubrick movie?
I'd argue that his films aren't 'over-cooked' but merely very deliberate. Instead of dismissing or criticizing his films on that merit, it's more interesting to dissect his films as meticulously as he designed them.
I'm a huge fan of Kubrick but I always like to hear thoughtful criticism on his films instead of the typical, "His movies are pretentious and boring." I think the term "over-cooked" is very appropriate. Regarding Eyes Wide Shut, I would disagree that the film should be dismissed because audiences were "underwhelmed". Just because it wasn't what they expected doesn't mean it's not worth taking a look at. Anyway, just trying to keep the conversation going. I love talking about movies. Cheers!
I am thrilled you got to go! If I do not get to L.A. in time, I will attempt to bring the exibit to my home.

I LOVE IT Come check it out & help me get Kubrick's exibit here Moonwatcher
When he find out the journalist hasn't seen "The Killing" and has mistaken it for another movie and says "If you want to see it they have a print at the Museum of modern art!" - Then he is a bit pissed off.
@@jp6166 the world is heading for Orwell 1984 despite the countless warnings from history. We never learn from real history not the watered down official narratives taught in school
Fascinating interview. Kubrick comes over as a very intelligent, thoughtful man. Effectively self-taught, Kubrick the man appears more interesting than his films which, at times, seem over-cooked. Too much burning the midnight oil; too much lucubration. The whole world waited with baited breath for "Eyes Wide Shut" but when it finally arrived, audiences were distinctly underwhelmed. The film could have been made for a fraction of the budget.
"Schools don't teach you problem solving". Stanley Kubrick, 1966.

+Marisa D'Alessandro I believed it was genuine, I was just confused at how you would know the voice. But I understand now :).
i would of liked to see this man work.. genius. FMJ is my favourite kubrick film..
people say his movies are too long, maybe their lives aren't long enough for long movies. Maybe nobody in the world has time left. As life goes on people beleive that time is running out more.
I didn't picture him as being someone who would speak so clearly. I guess I pictured him muttering intellectually or something. There's also a brightness to his voice , I pictured him sounding a little darker
I love this man.
This was soooo long ago :)
if you listen .. think about how much his speech sounds like the president character in Dr Strangelove. I think Sellers may have been doing an impression of Kubrick when doing the president character.
dope, Man was exceedingly consistent and perpetually dedicated.
Haha, "You're thinking of Asphalt Jungle, you haven't seen the picture."
Brilliant!
Wow he didnt read a book for pleasure after higschool
i got into reading at about 17. And here i was feeling bad because of that. Kubrick is such an inspiration for me wanting to make one great film, Clockwork to me being one of the greatest films ever. Kubrick's 9th Symphony, no pun. RIP Hero.
Saul Cifuentes Jazz I didnt read a book for pleasure until i was 22. It was a A Clockwork Orange. Blew me away. You should definitely read it if you get the chance.
the man is brilliant
Very humble. Very smart. I miss this guy.
Amen i love film conversations, and i think Kubrick is in the top 5 directors
Gotta love the part where he caught the interviewer for not seeing one of his films haha.
Listening to this and realizing that not only are my favorite films all produced between 1968 and 1978 but so are many of my favorite albums. Would love to see that topic (the blossoming of cinema its halcyon days from the late 60s to late 70s) explored in film if anyone has any suggestions for viewing.
Have you read Easy Riders, Raging Bulls by Peter Bishkin? There's an accompanying documentary available on UA-cam.
Add a little accelerant certain places, and he sounds like Martin Scorsese in 1970.
If anyone has Stanley Kubrick's Boxes documentary, please upload. Thanks
(Found it on Vimeo)
ask his family
Stanley Kubrick movies get better every time you watch them. You play one of his movies 5-10 years later and appreciate it so much more. What’s you’re favorite Kubrick movie?
Nice drawing of him too.
I'd argue that his films aren't 'over-cooked' but merely very deliberate. Instead of dismissing or criticizing his films on that merit, it's more interesting to dissect his films as meticulously as he designed them.
I'm a huge fan of Kubrick but I always like to hear thoughtful criticism on his films instead of the typical, "His movies are pretentious and boring." I think the term "over-cooked" is very appropriate. Regarding Eyes Wide Shut, I would disagree that the film should be dismissed because audiences were "underwhelmed". Just because it wasn't what they expected doesn't mean it's not worth taking a look at. Anyway, just trying to keep the conversation going. I love talking about movies. Cheers!
LOL "a tremendous alot." Norman Bates says that in Psycho.
I am thrilled you got to go!
If I do not get to L.A. in time, I will attempt to bring the exibit to my home.
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art museum in Kansas City, Missouri, expanded
In 2007, Time magazine ranked the museum's new Bloch Building number one on its list of "The 10 Best (New and Upcoming) Architectural Marvels" which considered candidates from around the globe. I LOVE IT
Come check it out & help me get Kubrick's exibit here
Moonwatcher
love it
What a cheering and soothing voice !
Where's the "distraction" quote that Channel Criswell used in his video on Kubrick?
I'd like to hear Kurbick play the piano and sing :P
When he find out the journalist hasn't seen "The Killing" and has mistaken it for another movie and says "If you want to see it they have a print at the Museum of modern art!" - Then he is a bit pissed off.
Hi can you edit the video settings to enable automatic captions for this video interview please? It’s very important for me as a student. Thx!
He sounds more jovial than I would've thought, it sounds like he's on the verge of laughing half the time
genius is a powerful word
But there's no reason to use it unless you're speaking about THE KUBRICK
''The only thing you can learn about History is that you cannot learn from History.''
Patricia N of course you can learn from history
@@jp6166 the world is heading for Orwell 1984 despite the countless warnings from history. We never learn from real history not the watered down official narratives taught in school
He says "you know" a lot you know
Fascinating interview. Kubrick comes over as a very intelligent, thoughtful man. Effectively self-taught, Kubrick the man appears more interesting than his films which, at times, seem over-cooked. Too much burning the midnight oil; too much lucubration. The whole world waited with baited breath for "Eyes Wide Shut" but when it finally arrived, audiences were distinctly underwhelmed. The film could have been made for a fraction of the budget.
In dr strangelove i think sellers does stanley kubrick's voice as the president .
Anybody got a link to a transcript by any chance? I'd love to have that interview printed.
