Da cinefilo e fan di Kubrick vorrei dare il benvenuto a @filippoulivieri responsabile di "Archivio Kubrick", canale video dedicato alle opere del maestro:
Thought I'd share these images from THE SHINING: A VISUAL AND CULTURAL HAUNTING, put out by Rough Trade Books. It's a fantastic collection of analysis, ephemera, trivia, and photos.
A while back, I re-created a graphic that featured in Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was a very minor graphic in the film's cornucopia of special effects but I've always liked it. My original version of the BBC 12 logo contained a couple of errors (including the typeface), so I thought it was time to update it...
Inauguriamo questo profilo con la mia serie di lezioni sul cinema di Stanley Kubrick Cracking the Kube.
Il primo episodio presenta lo stato dell'arte dei così detti Kubrick Studies. Grazie a ricerche originali e documenti d'archivio, siamo sull'orlo di una rivoluzione nella nostra percezione del cinema di Kubrick.
At this anniversary time of Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, one of the best films ever made, I recommend this as the finest scholarship published on Strangelove as a film, as a social commentary, and as an ur text of nuclear culture: Reconstructing Strangelove by Mick Broderick. Essential reading.
I'd like to interrupt my typical irregular posting to say point-blank that if you believe the "Wendy Theory" about The Shining, you need to fuck off until you grow a better bullshit detector.
The evidence isn't there, and requires a bunch of extracurricular assumptions that don't work unless you ignore various interviews with Kubrick and production crew.
Like hoolee shit, the "Wendy Theory" is underpinned with bad logic jumps, and some blatant unchecked misogynistic stereotyping.
On the theme of Spooktober: Does anyone else ever feel like #TheShining is less a mysterious labyrinth of a film and more technically messed up because #Kubrick couldn’t be arsed with total quality control and just mixed up ideas from different versions he was planning?
