Stanley Kubrick: 1928-1999
Stanley Kubrick

Kubrick On Kubrick

It has often been suggested that Kubrick was a recluse, and there is indeed some truth in this description of him. Like other famous recluses (such as Greta Garbo, Thomas Pynchon, and JD Salinger), Kubrick avoided public appearances and photographers, and spent most of his time at home. However, Kubrick was certainly not an isolated, eccentric megalomaniac (such as Howard Hughes or Michael Jackson), despite persistent rumours to the contrary.

This, the first truly comprehensive list of Kubrick's interviews, demonstrates the surprising frequency with which he actually spoke to journalists. Kubrick also published some of his screenplays, issued press-releases, and wrote several published articles and letters; these activities are all listed here. (Kubrick: The Last Interview, by Adrian Rigelsford and Kim Meffen (TV Times, 4/9/1999), is not included, as it is now known to be a hoax.) The list has been revised and expanded in collaboration with Filippo Ulivieri.

DW Griffith And His Wings Of Fortune

The Kubrick Estate

Following his death in 1999, Kubrick's family permitted Jon Ronson, Bernd Eichhorn, and Alison Castle to visit Childwickbury Manor and catalogue his archives. Ronson wrote an article for The Guardian's Weekend magazine (Citizen Kubrick, 27/3/2004) and made a documentary for More4 (Stanley Kubrick's Boxes, 15/7/2008), giving a brief survey of Kubrick's store-rooms. The props and documents Bernd Eichhorn discovered were shown as part of an extensive Stanley Kubrick touring exhibition beginning in 2004, and an exhibition catalogue (Kinematograph XX: Stanley Kubrick, 2004) and documentary (Stanley Kubrick: The Exhibition by Katia de Vidas, 2005) were also released. Alison Castle edited two enormous, lavish books: The Stanley Kubrick Archives (2005) and Stanley Kubrick's Napoleon: The Greatest Movie Never Made (2009).

Jan Harlan, Kubrick's brother-in-law, directed A Life In Pictures (2001), a feature-length documentary with extensive and rare footage of Kubrick; he also co-edited a book about AI with Jane M Struthers: Artificial Intelligence - From Stanley Kubrick To Steven Spielberg: The Vision Behind The Film (2009). Christiane Kubrick, the director's widow, wrote A Life In Pictures (2002), featuring a large selection of Kubrick photographs. In 2007, Kubrick's archives were transferred from Childwickbury (his home near St Albans) to the University of the Arts in London. Artists Jane and Louise Wilson used photographs from the archives for their installation Unfolding The Aryan Papers (2009), and a selection of artefacts from the archives was exhibited at the Barbican in London (Stanley Kubrick - 2008: A Film Odyssey, 2008).
