I'm a day late with this, but in honor of yesterday's 10th anniversary of the death of Stanley Kubrick, check out this vintage episode of the Charlie Rose Show in which Martin Scorsese, Kubrick's widow Christiane and his long-time producer Jan Harlan discuss the excellent documentary Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures.
The older I get, the more I think Kubrick may be my favorite filmmaker of all time. Later this year, art-book publisher Taschen plans to release a gigantic coffee-table entitled Stanley Kubrick: The Napoleon Film documenting all the work he put into the never-made project.
The book is rumored to clock in at 1,900 pages - yes, 1,900 - and will be one of Taschen's super-deluxe, limited-edition releases, which means a price tag of somewhere around $500 (gulp). I'll have to settle for reading thumbing through it at the bookstore.
Please, Rene. I'm trying to forget Kubrick, yet you insist on bringing him back up.
