Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures is a 2001 documentary about the life and work of Stanley Kubrick, famed film director, made by his long-time assistant Jan Harlan. 135 minutes long, it consists of several 15-minute chapters, each detailing the making of one of his films – and two more showing his childhood and life.
Jan Harlan managed to get many of Kubrick’s collaborators together for interviews, including Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Keir Dullea, Arthur C. Clarke, Malcolm McDowell, György Ligeti and Matthew Modine.
The film contains some rare footage, including from the Kubrick family home videos and on film sets, and clips from Fear and Desire – Kubrick’s first feature and his only film that is not commercially available to the home-viewing public.
