American filmmaker Stanley Kubrick (1928–1999), one of the greatest in history, but also one of the most reserved, gave few interviews throughout his long career, and none of them were filmed. A first-person journey through his life and work, based on a recorded conversation with French film critic Michel Climent.

"Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven"**
**
Im not keen on rating documentaries so im going to leave this one with only my thoughts.
The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning. Children, of course, begin life with an untarnished sense of wonder, a capacity to experience total joy at something as simple as the greenness of a leaf. But as they grow older, the awareness of death and decay begins to impinge on their consciousness and subtly erode their ***joie de vivre, their idealism.

THE ASSUMPTION OF IMMORTALITY
“Kubrick by Kubrick” is a short documentary about the director himself Stanley Kubrick. While it’s informative for those familiar with his work and films, it won’t offer anything new. As a fan of his work, and having seen every single movie from his filmography, i can’t say i was left surprised.
Though you can get to see the world from his lens, and see the fact that he wasn’t as cold as he was said to be. I personally know that, since i’ve gotten the absolute amazing opportunity to connect with his daughter, Vivian. She gave insight on his behind-the-scenes work, and some personal experiences. Truly a delightful conversation.
Now if you want to see this, here are the films included: The Shining (don’t even joke lad), A Clockwork Orange (dare i say his best movie?), 2001: A Space Odyssey (peakness in its true form), Full Metal Jacket (you know how i am about war movies), Paths of Glory (yessir), Eyes Wide Shut (absolute awakening), Barry Lyndon (could never go wrong w that one)

Really wish we could have got more films made from Kubrick, you just know they would have been masterpieces.
P.S. had no idea what they were saying in the French and Italian parts, because, for some reason, Prime didn't give this documentary subtitles for those bits!
