Who is Stanley Kubrick?

Born in New York City in 1928, Stanley Kubrick grew up in one of the more prosperous families in his Bronx neighborhood. Kubrick succeeded by preparing his films for years so that each distilled the essence of the zeitgeist. To the generation of the 1950s, he was one of the few directors to achieve, with Paths of Glory, the dignity and stature of the European cinema in an American film. To 1960s audiences, he’s the man who made both Dr. Strangelove, the ultimate anti-war movie, and the counter-culture classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. In the 1970s he created that archetypal hymn to urban violence, A Clockwork Orange. In the 1980s, he put Stephen King on screen in The Shining. Kubrick died suddenly on 7 March 1999 soon after delivering its final cut. A long-planned collaboration with Steven Spielberg subsequently emerged as A.I. Artificial Intelligence, predictably displaying more of Spielberg’s authorship than Kubrick’s.
