Aug 26, 2024 · Fear and Desire was Kubrick's feature film debut in 1952, and one of only three movies where he did not write the screenplay. The film was written by Howard Sackler, and features a war story in an unidentified location. Largely, this film reveals some of the deeply held views of Kubrick about the brutality of war.

It's almost hard to judge Kubrick’s directorial debut Fear and Desire against the rest of his filmography, as the hour-long anti-war film is more or less an extended student short project that’s mostly fascinating in how it predicates his later achievements. Like any great filmmaker, Kubrick didn’t come out of the gate fully formed, and his experim...
Kubrick’s second film is certainly a step up from Fear and Desire, but it was still the work of a developing filmmaker who was more trying to perfect current trends than innovate his own. Compared to the rest of his filmography, Killer’s Kiss is perhaps the biggest outlier. It showed genuine empathy for sympathetic characters, and crafts a tragic s...
Lolita is a fascinating example of Kubrick biting off more than he could chew. On paper, matching the novel filmmaker with the controversial 1955 novel by Vladimir Nabokovseemed like a perfect fit, as Kubrick had shown he could adapt great literature and offer his own interpretation. Unfortunately, much of the brilliance of Nabokov’s novel was from...
It's fascinating that a film as iconic as Spartacus is Kubrick’s most compromised work, and although the film is hailed as a classic, is the one film within Kubrick’s filmography where he didn’t have complete artistic control. The importance of Spartacus ranges beyond Kubrick himself; written by Dalton Trumbo amidst the Hollywood blacklisting crisi...
In only a few short parallels, it's easy to see how The Killing is one of the most influential films ever made. Kubrick’s 1956 neo-noir heist thriller tells its robbery plot from multiple perspectives and was among Quentin Tarantino's primary influences for Reservoir Dogs. If you consider how Reservoir Dogs laid the groundwork for Pulp Fiction (and...
Anti-war themes are prevalent within a good portion of Kubrick’s work, and in many ways Paths of Glory is a more mature version of his early attempts to make a statement in Fear and Desire. Kubrick trekked into less ambiguous territory with a grounded narrative set within an actual historical context. Set in World War I, the film follows the trial ...
What has always made Kubrick such a fascinating filmmaker is that despite the dark subject material that he frequently tackles, he’s never failed to have a sense of humor. There are satirical elements woven into all of his films, and unsurprisingly his only outright comedy Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is both...
There is a broad misconception among cinephile circles that Full Metal Jacket is a lesser Kubrick work that only works in its first half. Undoubtedly, the first hour of Kubrick’s 1987 war film includes some of the most powerful imagery of his career as it follows the brutal training process of U.S. Marines as they undergo boot camp training. Lee Er...
The only thing more shocking than the highly disturbing material within A Clockwork Orange is how completely ahead of his time Kubrick was, and how half a decade later his 1971 dystopian classic is just as impactful and relevant (and unfortunately subject to the same debates over whether or not it's “promoting” its characters' behavior). A Clockwor...
It goes without saying that Barry Lyndon is one of the most beautiful-looking movies ever made. Rarely will you find a three-hour film that’s this entertaining, as Barry Lyndon saw Kubrick lampooning the self-seriousness of the cinematic epic with a titular character that’s selfish, repugnant, and generally unlikeable. Ryan O’Neal crafts one of the...
