In 40 Years Stanley Kubrick Made Only 13 Films :

The Best Epic Film Ever : Barry Lyndon
The Best Science Fiction Film Ever : 2001 A Space Odyssey
The Best Film About Violence Ever : A Clockwork Orange
The Best World War 1 Film Ever : Paths of Glory
The Best Vietnam War Film Ever : Full Metal Jacket
The Best Horror Film Ever : The Shining
The Best Dark Comedy/Cold War Film Ever : Dr. Strangelove

This Without any Shadow of a Doubt Makes him one of the Best Filmmakers Ever if not The Greatest of Them All.

A documentary that begins and ends with Kubrick's death, yet doesn't linger long on the event of his demise and instead really hones in on what he left in his wake. Kubrick is and undoubtedly always will be my favorite filmmaker and this film provided some unique insight into his creative process; everything here feels introspective and respectful to his legacy in ways few documentaries are able to convey. Wish it was a little more than just essential an hour of archival interviews, but I didn't really mind. I think hearing Kubrick speak is like crossing the bridge between life and death; it's soul-shaking, really.

Eine der wenigen Möglichkeiten den sonst so zurückgezogenen Kubrick (und prominente Begleiter) fast eine Stunde über alle seine Projekte reden zu hören.

I will be bluntly honest here my PhD is on Kubrick I learnt nothing new here, but my respect for the man grew

Kubrick spricht über seine Filme.

Sehr interessant aber viel zu kurz.

Barry Lyndon needed to be physically attractive so he couldn't be played by Jack Nicholson or Al Paccino.

Pretty good documentary. Kubrick is obviously a fascinating figure and getting some insight into his process is very interesting. I have not seen a lot of Kubrick's films so I shouldn't tell you how phenomenal he is and you probably know that already. I have seen three of his films and they have all just grown on me with time.

This documentary did also focus a bit on the conversations his films created, and it asks the question why he made the films made. Kubrick definitely says some interesting and inspiring stuff but I would say we get a bit less from Kubrick himself than expected.

Two things I realised when watching this:
1) I really really want to make a movie
2) My Kubrick ranking is 1. 2001: space odyssey, 2. Full metal Jacket 3. The Shining.

Feels like the type of Stanley Kubrick documentary to watch after watching a bunch of other Stanley Kubrick documentaries. Not informative and detailed, but rather a collection of archived interviews and retrospectives presented in an awesome manner (recreation of iconic Kubrick settings). The man himself doesn’t needs any introduction, but if you’re looking for that, watch A Life in Pictures instead.

The more I learn about Kubrick, the more I believe he is HAL-9000.

Eine sehr hochwertige Dokumentation über einen der bedeutendsten Filmschaffenden aller Zeiten.
Getragen wird sie durch eines der seltenen Interviews, welches Kubrick gegeben hat. Man wird vor allem mit den Ansichten und Hintergründen seines Wirkens konfrontiert. Ein paar der Infos kannte ich schon. Andere spannende Details, z.B. wo der zweite Akt von Full Metal Jacket gedreht wurde, waren mir gar nicht bewusst.
Ich denke hier gibt es für jeden Interessierten des Fachs was zu entdecken.
Die Doku hätte von mir aus auch noch locker ne Stunde länger gehen können. Interessant und dicht inszeniert bis zum Schluss.
Zu sehen gibt es das Ding, wie das Poster schon vermuten lässt, in der Arte Mediathek.
Ich freue mich schon sehr auf die noch von mir ausstehenden Kubrick-Filme.

There’s not much I haven’t seen, read or listened to about the great man over many years of fascination and this doesn’t really bring much new to the table, but it’s nice to hear his voice as an accompaniment to his stunning visuals nonetheless.

Det är såhär jag föredrar en dokumentär om filmskapare. Upphittade intervjuer, arkivmaterial, filmklipp, inte för många talking heads, och det finns substans när de uppstår. Så enligt dom parametrarna är det här en riktigt bra dokumentär. Sen att den inte säger så mycket mer än Wikipedia-artikel, gör mig inte så mycket.

Kubrick's egna tankar kring sina filmer, produktioner och livet. Intressant.

Started off nice and interesting with some notes on his early career as a photographer and the way it translated into his movies but disintegrated into the old "let's say something short about all of his movies"-formula. It didn't tell me anything I didn't already knew (or mattered). I fell asleep halfway through and had to rewind two times.

Not a Kubrick fan.
Feels like almost all of his films have a big hole in them, a dead surface, a long drive in the dark. But this documentary is excellent. Much to learn. Michel Ciment sure knows the ropes. And by having him on tape, no camera, you get a lot closer to the Kubricksy. - I can't see how an ultra intelligent machine can be any worse than a man.

Estrenado en varios festivales en 2020 y emitido por televisión en algunos países, KUBRICK BY KUBRICK es un documental breve (apenas un poco más de una hora de duración) que sirve más que nada como introducción al mundo del realizador de LA NARANJA MECANICA. El film cuenta con un material que lo diferencia del resto de las películas que se hicieron sobre el director: las entrevistas hechas, a lo largo de más de diez años, por el crítico de cine francés Michel Ciment, de la revista «Positif», al propio Kubrick. Como se sabe, el realizador fallecido en 1999 era una persona que raramente hablaba en público o daba notas. No era un ermitaño ni un recluso, como se ha dicho muchas veces, pero sí alguien que prefería no explicar sus películas a periodistas o críticos sino dejar que ellas hablen por sí mismas...

Based around archival audio recordings of Kubrick being interviewed, Gregory Monro's documentary offers a unique perspective on the director, supplemented with clips and other archival materials.

Revelador en ocasiones pero con ritmo descompensado.

finns några små guldkorn här, och jag skulle kunna lyssna på Kubrick prata om sitt hantverk i evigheter.

just by watching this documentary you discover that the man was not only a genius in making movies, but also on the subject called 'human nature'!
Splendid documentary. The man was meticulously about movie making!

The rare audio interviews are what makes this an interesting watch. And the nice flow.

A favourite director of mine, and probably the best book to film director (at least 11 of his films are book adaptations). I may be the oddball here, but the Kubrick film that's made the most impact on me is "Eyes Wide Shut".
