1st watched 9/7/2022 - (Dir-Jan Harlan):
Extraordinary documentary on the films of Stanley Kubrick and his life. Tom Cruise plays as the narrator, but the real star is Kubrick - his films and his life. The two hours and twenty minutes fly by for those who are interested in film-making and movies. It begins with his earliest life and the earliest films he made, and goes to the very last film - "Eyes Wide Shut." With many personal parts of his life shown - his longtime wife Christiane, whom he met on one of the early films as well as his daughters fill in a little of the personal side but it's mostly about the movies. I personally would like to see this kind of film done for every director after they depart from this world, but - of course - not everyone has a fascination for directors as I do. This standard should be followed for this genre, and those who admire this profession will not be felt cheated in any way.
