Biography

Who Is Stanley Kubrick?

Stanley Kubrick was born in New York City, U.S. in 1928. Credited on films since 1947, as a director. The background, training and the roles that shaped the career.

Stanley Kubrick (1928-07-26 to 1999-03-07) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and photographer who is frequently considered one of the greatest and most influential directors in the history of cinema. Known for his meticulous attention to detail, evocative use of music, and mastery of a wide range of genres, Kubrick's most acclaimed films include Paths of Glory (1957), Lolita (1962), Dr. Strangelove (1964), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), A Clockwork Orange (1971), Barry Lyndon (1975), The Shining (1980), Full Metal Jacket (1987), and Eyes Wide Shut (1999). Famously reserved and controlling over his works, Kubrick often demanded numerous takes of scenes, resulting in an innovative and unorthodox directing style. His films broke new cinematic ground and are now considered landmarks of a completely unique oeuvre.
