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.
Direction
Elegant assemblage of rare audio into coherent narrative.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Michel Ciment recorded these interviews over decades but never filmed them — Kubrick refused cameras in his home. The documentary reconstructs his workspace using photographs and AI-assisted techniques.
Kubrick's reclusive persona spawned decades of conspiracy theories — moon landing, Illuminati, the whole nine. This film quietly dismantles the myth by revealing a man who just really hated leaving his house.
