Happy birthday, Stanley!
26 July 2006
I agree with a previous viewer that "Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures" would have been better with someone other than Tom Cruise narrating (I thought that "Eyes Wide Shut" was worthless). As for the complaint that all the interviewees lauded Kubrick, that was OK with me. Let's face it, he was a director unlike any other, and the documentary does a pretty good job showing his life. It was strange seeing that footage of him when he was about 10 years old, and almost heartbreaking hearing Steven Spielberg's story about the scene from "Paths of Glory"). But anyway, I thought that overall, this documentary did a pretty good job.
