Stanley Kubrick: A Life In Pictures (CFF 15)
Other
Director: Jan Harlan. Narrator: Tom Cruise. USA 2001
Cambridge Film Festival Certificate 15. 142 mins.
An exploration of the life and work of the man acknowledged as one of the greatest auteur filmmakers of all time, this documentary by Jan Harlan draws on a huge store of interviews and reminiscences by those who knew and worked with the great man, ranging from Jack Nicholson to Woody Allen. As Nicholson himself says, "Everyone pretty much acknowledges he’s the man, and I still think that underrates him..."
Full Metal Jacket (18)
Other
Director: Stanley Kubrick. UK 1987
Certificate 18. 116 mins. English.
Spare, harrowing and visceral, Kubrick's Vietnam movie starts with a group of marines undergoing basic training on Parris Island. It then jumps to the fighting in Saigon and Hue during the Tet Offensive of 1967, showing how the soldiers' acquired skills and reflexes are put into practice in the actual confusion of war. Continuing the director's recurring theme of the processes and consequences of dehumanisation, Full Metal Jacket contains sequences that feel, emotionally and technically, like the most authentic scenes of combat ever put on film.
