"Stanley Kubrick: A Life In Pictures", is clearly a fine and well done documentary that pays a fine homage and tribute to this legendary master and unique film director. It's narrated by actor Tom Cruise and it starts by showing Stanley's very early beginnings from pictures of him growing up showing his days of school and being with family. Also much historical info is provided by showing how Kubrick done his early films, and it was also nice to learn how that Kubrick had his first job as a photographer for "Look" magazine in which that would inspire him to later direct films. Each of Stanley's films are highlighted in which this doc shows clips and footage and each picture is broken down by very well dead on analysis from the actors who played in them and many film critics and other directors give their take on many of the fine works of Stanley. Rare interviews are provided here in this doc from many that have appeared in Stanley's films like Malcom McDowell, Jack Nicholson, and even Nicole Kidman. From the man who many thought was wrapped in mystery and suspense this documentary brings light and fine info on the very private and compelling Stanley Kubrick it certainly is a tribute and homage to watch. This documentary is a must watch for any Kubrick lover, I think he without a doubt was one of our times better film directors so this is a must watch it's a great visual complement to his films combined with a intimate picture of his personal and professional life.
