In telling the noir story of a washed-up boxer trying to help a girl tangled in a messy situation, you can feel Kubrick trying to adapt his sense of composition into filmmaking, with an instinct to strip a scene down to its most basic elements.

Kubrick's overwrought, overlong horror film dispenses with much of the psychic apparatus of Stephen King's novel to concentrate on the deeper horror of a family turning in on itself.
Nicholson, with all the stops out, is bug-eyed and demonic as the writer cracking up violently in an isolated hotel, and the final scenes…. Kubrick's epic adaptation of William Makepeace Thackery's picaresque novel about the attempts of an Irish upstart to become a member of the English aristocracy in the early part of the 19th century re-emerges for re-evaluation on a beautiful fully restored print.
A stunning, sumptuous and sustained meditation on man's…. The night of 'ultra-violence' committed by Alex McDowell and his gang of 'droogs', gave this film its notoriety.
But his subsequent victimisation by the state still provides much food for thought. This fable of law and disorder, crime and punishment might easily be recast in 21st century Britain. Kubrick's gloriously grand architecture sees prehistoric apes timelined into a space ballet featuring a lunar craft docking to the sound of Strauss.
S tanley Kubrick, despite making just 13 full-length films in a near year career, excelled in so many genres: horror, film noir, comedy of the pitch-black type, historical romance, war and more. Painstakingly meticulous to the nth degree, and a true auteur, Kubrick had a well deserved reputation as a perfectionist, insisting on multiple takes, selecting the ideal music to illustrate scenes and building expansive sets while enjoying a huge degree of artistic freedom like few directors before or since.
However, this allegorical anti-war movie following four soldiers caught behind enemy lines has more going for it than its reputation would suggest. As a result he becomes embroiled in a secret sexual society, placing both himself and his wife in grave danger. I always wanted to meet interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture Sue Lyon as Lolita was deemed to be a weak link although her performance did win her a Golden Globe for most promising newcomer.
The screenplay was credited to Nabokov and he received an Oscar nod for it, but it is widely accepted that Kubrick and long-term collaborator James Harris rewrote much of it. No Kubrick film can be considered even close to a failure, but the overriding feeling on Lolita is one of a missed opportunity. Spartacus remains a great spectacle however, if a bit wordy, and won four Oscars, none of them for Kubrick.
Kubrick explores the dehumanising effect that not just combat but the brutal training regime under a profane, bullying instructor has on the recruits. Trademark Kubrick set-pieces such as the climactic battle with a girl sniper systematically slaughtering the Marines and Joker having to kill the wounded girl linger just as long in the memory.
