Stanley Kubrick Retrospective Follows '2001'
By Staff
December 10, 2001 04:20 PM PST
In January, the American Cinematheque in Hollywood will present "Grand
Master: The Films of Stanley Kubrick," which comes on the heels of the
Cinematheque's special engagement of "2001," screening with a brand-new 70mm
print. "2001" screens from Dec. 20-31, and the retrospective will take place
Jan. 11-19. Kubrick's longtime friend, producer and brother-in-law, Jan
Harlan, will introduce and discuss his documentary portrait "Stanley
Kubrick: A Life in Pictures," and will also join director-actor Sydney
Pollack for an introduction to "Eyes Wide Shut," Kubrick's final movie. The
schedule of the retrospective is listed below (notes provided by the
American Cinematheque).
* Friday, Jan. 11 - 7:30 p.m.
THE SHINING, 1980, Warner Bros.
Edited by Ray Lovejoy, A.C.E.
A brilliant exercise in pure supernatural terror, THE SHINING stars Jack
Nicholson as a frustrated writer who takes the job of winter caretaker.
* Saturday, Jan. 12 - 5:00 p.m.
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, 1971, Warner Bros.
Edited by Bill Butler (Oscar nominee, 1972).
This benchmark cinematic prophecy proved to be more foresighted than anyone
dreamed, as the punk explosion and skinhead-fomented race riots demonstrated
in the later '70s.
* Saturday, Jan. 12 - 8:30 p.m.
SPARTACUS, 1960, Universal
Edited by Robert Lawrence (Oscar nominee, 1961).
Super Technirama 70mm Print
Kirk Douglas stars as the gladiator who leads his fellow slaves in a revolt
against Rome, while co-stars Laurence Olivier, Tony Curtis, Jean Simmons,
Peter Ustinov, John
Gavin and Nina Foch get swept into the firestorm.
* Sunday, Jan. 13 - 5:00 p.m.
DR. STRANGELOVE OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB, 1964,
Columbia
Edited by Anthony Harvey.
Against a gallery of unforgettable comic grotesques, Peter Sellers stands
out in arguably his greatest role as the befuddled U.S. President,
veddy British commander Mandrake, and the maniacal Dr. Strangelove.
* Sunday, Jan. 13 - 7:00 p.m.
BARRY LYNDON, 1975, Warner Bros.
Edited by Tony Lawson, A.C.E.
Winner of four Academy Awards, BARRY LYNDON stars Ryan O'Neal as Thackeray's
flawed 18th-century soldier of fortune, struggling to find his place in a
rigidly structured social hierarchy.
* Wednesday, Jan. 16 - 7:30 p.m.
DAY OF THE FIGHT, 1951
Edited by Julian Bergman and Stanley Kubrick.
A documentary portrait of middleweight boxer Walter Cartier preparing for a
bout on April 17th, 1950.
KILLER'S KISS, 1955, United Artists
Edited by Stanley Kubrick.
Kubrick's second feature is a compact, moody noir gem about a boxer's
vengeful quest when his romance with a neighbor girl leads her employer to
murder.
THE KILLING, 1956, United Artists
Edited by Betty Steinberg.
Kubrick's tough-as-nails heist film about a robbery at a racetrack features
an incredible rogues' gallery of great character actors, including Sterling
Hayden and Coleen Gray.
* Thursday, Jan. 17 - 7:30 p.m.
LOLITA, 1962, MGM, Warner Classics
Edited by Anthony Harvey.
Kubrick's hilariously bleak and twisted portrait of sexual obsession (based
on Vladimir Nabokov's infamous novel) stars James Mason as ultra-fussy
college professor Humbert Humbert.
* Friday, Jan. 18 - 7:30 p.m.
PATHS OF GLORY, 1957, United Artists
Edited by Eva Kroll.
During WWI, French officer Kirk Douglas finds himself in a maze of catch-22
contradictions when he decides to defend three of his men against charges of
cowardice from insane general George Macready.
* Saturday, Jan. 19 - 5:00 p.m.
STANLEY KUBRICK: A LIFE IN PICTURES, 2001, Warner Bros. Home Video
Kubrick's longtime friend, producer (and brother-in-law) Jan Harlan created
this riveting portrait of the maestro, from his childhood in the Bronx
through his early days as a photo-journalist, his first features, the furor
over LOLITA and A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, right up to his final days working on
EYES WIDE SHUT.
* Saturday, Jan. 19 - 8:30 p.m.
EYES WIDE SHUT, 1999, Warner Bros.
Edited by Nigel Galt.
EYES WIDE SHUT is an unnerving portrait of a seemingly-happy couple (played
fearlessly by Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman) whose lives are thrown into
turmoil when they look beneath the bourgeois surface of their marriage to
find a terrifying warren of self-deceit, sexual obsession and emotional
betrayal.
