When a Director Is Too Controlling - Stanley Kubrick

Video Description

Stanley Kubrick is one of the greatest film directors who directed classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, Dr. Strangelove and A Clockwork Orange. But behind the scenes he was known for his pursuit of perfection which was both legendary and notorious. From pushing actors beyond exhaustion to demanding hundreds of takes for a single scene, he showcased his unparalleled attention to detail and his ability to master any genre he tackled. His 13 films are filled with complex and sometimes controversial characters. But none of those characters are as complex or fascinating as Kubrick himself. In this video, we’re diving into the grit, the intensity, and the near-tyrannical control Kubrick wielded to bring his visions to life. From script development to final editing, Kubrick controlled every aspect of the filmmaking process, often leading to some of the longest continuous shoots in the industry. But in the end, the films got finished—and more often than not, they were worth the effort.
