The Theatre Complex of Buenos Aires and Argentina Film Foundation have organized a series called Integral Stanley Kubrick that will take place on Tuesday 24 April to Tuesday, May 8 at the Sala Leopoldo Lugones the Teatro San Martín (Avenida Corrientes 1530).
The
cycle is composed of twelve feature films shot by this controversial
filmmaker who has been loved, hated, deified and vilified by generations
of moviegoers. As
a coda to the cycle, is showcasing its artificial intelligence project
ever undertaken, directed by Steven Spielberg finally, following part of
Kubrick's notes.
"Son
of a doctor in the Bronx, New York, Stanley Kubrick left school early
to indulge his passion for chess, photography and film. After
four years as a photographer for Look magazine, devoting his free time
watching movies at the Museum of Modern Art, made a short documentary
about a boxer, Day of the Fight (1951), whose photograph close to film
noir and interest by isolation, obsession and violence foreshadowed his
later work. (...)
Kubrick can be seen as a paradigmatic figure in twentieth century art, a
symbol of irreconcilable conflict between reason and passion,
accompanied by the hubris of a desire to control and determine the
course of events and the devastating illusion of access to a kind of
immortality of the intellect, the only possible answer to the cruel
absurdity of physical existence "(Paolo Cherchi Usai).
