Kubrick, Stanley

Born July 26, 1928, in New York. American film director.

In the early 1950’s Kubrick began writing screenplays and producing and directing documentary films. In 1953 he directed his first feature film. His films Paths of Glory (1957), based on the novel by H. Cobb, and Doctor Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1963) explore important problems of the modern world and denounce militarism and war. His best-known films are the historical film Spartacus (1961), Lolita (1962), based on the novel by V. Nabokov, and 2001: A Space Odyssey (1969, based on A. Clarke’s novel), which treats the problem of technological progress in conquering outer space in the science fiction manner. In the film A Clockwork Orange (1972), based on the novel by the English writer A. Burgess, Kubrick satirizes bourgeois customs and morality, although he regards evil as ineradicable.
