Stanley Kubrick is one of my favourite filmmakers. He is one of those artists who I find almost unimaginably good. I know some people who find him too controlled, too cold in his gaze. What I see is a complete clarity of vision. Every aspect of the filmmaking process, the script, the scene composition, the music, the acting, all work together to a specific end. And they are ends I find fascinating. There may rarely be warmth in his films, but there is an incredible intellect exploring what it means to be human. Here's a great animated short by the french graphic artist Martin Woutisseth that animates posters for the entirety of Kubrick's filmography. It's a great reminder of how many truly great movies this man created, and also how I need to get off my but and see the rest of them.
