I wonder if there's a Kubrick biography or documentary coming out soon. There have been several other articles about him recently, including some focusing on his photography: https://www.wsj.com/articles/space-odyssey-and-stanley-kubrick-review-like-nothing-else-on-earth-1523565411 https://www.wsj.com/articles/space-odyssey-and-stanley-kubri... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16840863 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16840863 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/in-sight/wp/2018/04/13/stanley-kubricks-little-known-life-as-a-still-photographer https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/in-sight/wp/2018/04/13/s... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16835720 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16835720 https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/books/2017/01/close-tears-he-left-intermission-how-stanley-kubrick-upset-arthur-c-clarke https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/books/2017/01/close-tea... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16781142 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16781142 Or maybe it's just commemoration of the 50 year anniversary of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Edit: I see from this article that there's an exhibit opening tomorrow, so that's probably the immediate impetus.

Or perhaps he just stands in the pantheon of filmmakers. As a fan of Tarantino and Christopher Nolan, Kubrick's consistency of the quality of his work is unparalleled, in my mind. The breadth of the timespan he created them in is equally impressive. Most of the films he adapted from a book, are drastically different as well.

Good guess: https://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/filmworker/ https://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/filmworker/ > Leon Vitali was a rising British television actor when Stanley Kubrick picked him for the role of Lord Bullingdon in Barry Lyndon. That first encounter with the famed auteur proved decisive — he swiftly resolved to devote the rest of his life working for the director, this time behind the scenes, and took on just about every job available: casting director, acting coach, location scouter, sound engineer, color corrector, A.D., promoter, and eventually restorer of Kubrick’s films. Tony Zierra’s affecting documentary profiles the devoted “filmworker” — Vitali’s preferred job title — as he enthusiastically recounts his days with the notoriously meticulous, volatile and obsessive director. The experiences brought both tremendous sacrifice and glowing pride.

Yup, I guess that's just the PR for the exhibit tomorrow. Hope I can go!
