An intimate, intellectually rigorous portrait of Stanley Kubrick built from rare recorded conversation, exploring his artistic vision and the obsessive craft behind his masterworks.

American filmmaker Stanley Kubrick (1928–1999), one of the greatest in history, but also one of the most reserved, gave few interviews throughout his long career, and none of them were filmed. A first-person journey through his life and work, based on a recorded conversation with French film critic Michel Climent.
