There’s Stanley Kubrick, and then there’s everyone else. A provocative, intellectual, and experimental perfectionist, he was truly one of a kind, working in a variety of genres—war, science fiction, crime, horror—and leaving an undeniable impression on them all. No shot, word, or detail wasn’t mulled over by this demanding filmmaker, causing stress to his crew and sublime cinema for us. This February the MFA will be screening the entirety of his canon the way it was meant to be seen: in 35mm! Witness every iconic moment in its original format, from the appearance of the starchild floating in space, set to Thus Spoke Zarathustra, to hundreds of loyal slave-soldiers screaming “I am Spartacus!” to save their revolutionary leader a terrible death.
