Stanley Kubrick Stanley Kubrick (/ˈkuːbrɪk/; July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer and editor who did much of his work in the United Kingdom. Part of the New Hollywood film-making wave, he is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential directors of all time. His films, typically adaptations of novels or short stories, are noted for their "dazzling" and unique cinematography, attention to detail in the service of realism, and the evocative use of music. Early life[edit] Kubrick as an infant with his father, Jack Stanley Kubrick was born on July 26, 1928, in Lying-In Hospital at 307 2nd Avenue in The Bronx, New York City, the first of two children of Jacob Leonard Kubrick (1902–85), known as Jack or Jacques, and his wife Sadie Gertrude Kubrick (née Perveler; 1903–85), both of whom were Jewish. Soon after the birth of his sister, Kubrick began schooling in Public School 3 in The Bronx, and moved to Public School 90 in June 1938. R.

IGNEOUS BOMB IGNEOUS | Every day indonesia & a fruitless search for triviality. Samsara All Critics (78) | Top Critics (26) | Fresh (59) | Rotten (18) | DVD (2) One doesn't have to be a Buddhist to perceive themes of circularity and renewal in Samsara, but it takes that level of patience to suffer its frequent low points with silence and good humour. A continuous flow of images of the natural world and the human tide that dominates it. A Balinese dancer, an African tribesman, a disfigured marine, a Japanese stripper all stand composed, confident, and dignified, daring you to break the gaze. Achingly beautiful and visually transfixing, Samsara offers a transporting vacation from the usual multiplex fare. "Samsara" finds the world a little less blessed than it was two decades ago, yet still beautiful, which seems to be the movie's primary message. Fricke and his crew capture such moments as a Hawaiian volcano erupting to life with a stunning, you-are-there clarity. Once the meditative flow of phenomenal photography takes hold, the virtuosity of the film emerges. November 5, 2012
