We are stuck in a loop here on Directors Uncut, double episode after double episode. This time though, we are in the territory of all-time greats – Stanley Kubrick.
Joined by Cliff (Devil Times Five) Andrew (Whitlock and Pope) and Oliver (Left Lion Screen), we look at two wildly different movies from his acclaimed filmography, A Clockwork Orange (1972) – the notorious adaptation of Anthony Burgess’s novel starring Malcolm McDowell – and Barry Lyndon (1975) – the so-called ugly duckling of his filmography. Despite feeling like polar extremes, we learn that these two films aren’t so different after all. Not to sound like the blurb on the back of a book or anything.
Then in the final section, we talk about Barbarian, Bill & Ted, Satan’s Slaves, Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, and the wonderfully titled, Project Wolf Hunting. Next time on Directors Uncut, part two of Stanley Kubrick, in which we look at his mega-heavyweight hitters.
