Stanley Kubrick talks about his life in the Kubrick by Kubrick trailer

Kubrick by Kubrick is a new documentary that takes a look at the life and films of Stanley Kubrick. The film was meant to debut at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, that has been put on hold. However, the film should be getting released online later this month.

Here is the synopsis:

Stanley Kubrick’s mark on the legacy of cinema can never be measured. He was a giant in his field, his great works resembling pristine pieces of art, studied by students and masters alike, all searching for answers their maker was notoriously reticent to give. While he’s among the most scrutinized filmmakers that ever lived, the chance to hear Kubrick’s own words was a rarity — until now.

Unspooling exclusive new recordings of detailed interviews with the mythic director spanning 30 years that ruminate on his philosophies, documentarian Gregory Monro weaves a tapestry of archival footage with the rhythm and care of a consummate historian relishing in his discoveries. No stranger to investigating legends of the screen, Monro’s exuberant and lyrical cinematic essay is vital. Taking viewers on a journey beyond Jupiter, Kubrick by Kubrick celebrates the essence of what film means to those who make it — and those who watch.
