Stanley Kubrick: A Life in PicturesPart of the Stanley Kubrick box set, A Life in Pictures takes a look at Kubrick as a man and a filmmaker. The film starts from the beginning taking a look at his childhood and how he started out and follows his life chronologically taking a look at all his movies all the way until his death. We are shown Stanley Kubrick from the perspective of his friends, family, colleagues and various actors and directors but never allowed to hear the man in question talk about himself or his film and I found that slightly disappointing.
Its a pretty conventional bio-doc yet the fact that its about Kubrick makes it really good. He is such a mysterious character and an amazing filmmaker and anything that can be learned about him is bound to be very interesting.
