Almost a decade after his death, the great myth of Stanley Kubrick seems as mysterious as ever. For someone so famous for being methodical and unyielding in his creative vision, his work displays an astonishing amount of flexibility, ranging from film noir (THE KILLING) to epic saga (SPARTACUS) to dark comedy (DR. STRANGELOVE) to science fiction (2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY) to period drama (BARRY LYNDON) to thriller (THE SHINING) to war movie (FULL METAL JACKET), with moments of indefinable brilliance (LOLITA, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE) throughout. The key, of course, is that in contributing to cinema’s various genres he really tweaked them all, washing out the familiar and attacking the screen in a way that was always entirely and distinctively Kubrick.
