Stanley Kubric Exhibition with Zeiss f0.7 lens.

[David Paterson]

Wow, you mean the "monolith"?

Yes. (I had forgotten what it was called.)

I worked with the model-maker about 10 years after the film was released, but he was still hurting over his treatment by Kubric.

Ditto Erik.  It is an intriguing anecdote.

Ahhh, the master and his Polaroid which I had the pleasure of holding and shooting......

Thanks for the links Akira. It all explains why Kubrick's films were technically on a very high level.  It's a pity he was not so good in bringing emotion and passion in his movies

I disagree.  Dr. Strangelove is full of very passioned performances, and I would say the same is true of Clockwork Orange - certainly from Malcom McDowell.   Jack Nicholson's performance in The Shining is often joked about as being over the top.  Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket is all emotion and comedy.  I would say Stanley's pace in some of his movies is what some who watch his films with me cannot bear.  I enjoy those moments because they give me time to reflect on what the actors are presenting and what the story is trying to present to me.  Nothing is a better example of this than 2001, which is almost a philosophical experience and exercise than just a movie. To each his own, though.
