AMC Movie Guide. Stanley-kubrick. Warner Bros. Stanley Kubrick. Selbstporträt von Stanley Kubrick, Ende der 1940er Jahre Stanley Kubrick (* 26. Juli 1928 in New York City; † 7. März 1999 im Childwickbury Manor bei London) war ein US-amerikanischer Regisseur, Produzent und Drehbuchautor. Seine Filme werden vor allem für ihre tiefe intellektuelle Symbolik und ihre technische Perfektion gelobt. Kubrick versuchte das Medium selbst zu erforschen, indem er jedes Genre analytisch zerlegte, um ihre Bestandteile zu etwas Neuem zusammenzusetzen. Der Regisseur war aber auch berüchtigt dafür, jede Szene bis ins kleinste Detail zu perfektionieren und die Schauspieler dabei oft bis an ihre psychischen und physischen Grenzen zu führen. Die Hauptthemen seiner Filme sind die Unnahbarkeit der Realität und das Scheitern der Menschlichkeit, ausgedrückt durch das einfache Akzeptieren, das Ignorieren oder das Ringen der Protagonisten mit ihren dunklen, inneren Kräften – auch ihren Trieben.

Early life[edit] "I devoted my interest to the church's mysterious world of low arches, thick walls, the smell of eternity, the coloured sunlight quivering above the strangest vegetation of medieval paintings and carved figures on ceilings and walls.
There was everything that one's imagination could desire — angels, saints, dragons, prophets, devils, humans". Although raised in a devout Lutheran household, Bergman later stated that he lost his faith at age eight and only came to terms with this fact while making Winter Light in 1962.[4] Bergman’s interest in theatre and film began early: "At the age of nine, he traded a set of tin soldiers for a magic lantern, a possession that altered the course of his life. Within a year, he had created, by playing with this toy, a private world in which he felt completely at home, he recalled. He fashioned his own scenery, marionettes, and lighting effects and gave puppet productions of Strindberg plays in which he spoke all the parts Career[edit] Coen brothers. Terrence Malick. Early life[edit] Film career[edit] Malick started his film career after earning an MFA from the AFI Conservatory in 1969, directing the short film "Lanton Mills".
At the AFI, he established contacts with people such as Jack Nicholson, longtime collaborator Jack Fisk, and agent Mike Medavoy, who procured for Malick freelance work revising scripts. He is credited with the screenplay for Pocket Money (1972), and he wrote an early draft of Dirty Harry (1971).[14] Paramount Pictures produced Malick's second film, Days of Heaven (1978), about a love triangle that develops in the farm country of the Texas Panhandle in the early 20th century. The film spent two years in post-production, during which Malick and his crew experimented with unconventional editing and voice-over techniques.[16] Days of Heaven went on to win the Academy Award for Best Cinematography, as well as the prize for Best Director at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival.
Chris Wisniewski about Days of Heaven and The New World[17] A. Ridley Scott. David Lynch. David Keith Lynch (born January 20, 1946) is an American film director, television director, visual artist, musician and occasional actor. Known for his surrealist films, he has developed a unique cinematic style, which has been dubbed "Lynchian", a style characterized by its dream imagery and meticulous sound design. The surreal, and in many cases, violent, elements contained within his films have been known to "disturb, offend or mystify" audiences.[2] Over his career, Lynch has received three Academy Award nominations[3] for Best Director and a nomination for best screenplay.
Lynch has won France's César Award for Best Foreign Film twice, as well as the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival[4] and a Golden Lion award for lifetime achievement at the Venice Film Festival.

Lars von Trier. Quentin Tarantino. Early life[edit] Tarantino was born in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1963.[6] He is the son of actor and amateur musician Tony Tarantino and nurse Connie McHugh.[7][8] He has a younger half-brother named Ron.
Tarantino grew bored with the James Best Acting School and left after two years, although he kept in touch with all of his acting friends. He then landed a job which threatened to interfere with his long-term acting ambitions.[17] As an employee of Video Archives, a now-defunct video rental store in Manhattan Beach, he and fellow movie enthusiasts (including Roger Avary) discussed cinema and customer video recommendations at length.
He paid close attention to the types of films people liked to rent and has cited that experience as inspiration for his directorial career.[18] Tarantino has been quoted as saying: "When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them 'no, I went to films.'"[9] Film career[edit] 1980s[edit] 1990s[edit] 2000s[edit] 2010–present[edit]
