A genuine cinematic auteur, Stanley Kubrick is considered one the greatest filmmakers of all time. From Dr. Strangelove (1964) to 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) to A Clockwork Orange (1971), Kubrick was a creator who sought perfection in all his works. (He only directed 12 major films in all.) Though American, Kubrick spent most of his creative life in Europe, living and filming in Great Britain, where he perfected the incredible cinematography and devotion to realism his films aimed to achieve. The Dutch film institute EYE is running a comprehensive exhibition on the director, displaying all aspects of Kubrick’s creative process, including screenplays, set models, props, costumes, clips, documentaries and more. The exhaustive exhibit should please film aficionados and Kubrick fans alike, as well as offer insight into the mind of a film genius to those less familiar with his works. To aid those who may be less acquainted with his films, EYE is also staging a retrospective of Kubrick’s films, as well as offering debates, lectures and interviews to further explore Kubrick. No time for the old in and out though, love, as the exhibition is only running until Sept. 9.
