"I'm thrilled with any chance to collaborate with the Harvard Film Archive and to make use of Harvard's collection. I've taught several of Kubrick's films in different courses over the years, but never all of them together and never on the big screen. It is a unique opportunity. The HFA is one of Harvard's treasures. I'm really grateful to them for making this happen."
"Although his films sometimes received mixed reviews when they first appeared, Kubrick has been very influential, and one can see echoes of his work in other filmmakers. A film like "2001: A Space Odyssey" is nearly 60 years old (it's from 1968), but it doesn't feel very dated when you watch it. Works like "2001" and "Dr. Strangelove" regularly appear on lists of top or favorite films, and others, like "A Clockwork Orange" or "The Shining," have just become part of the pop culture"
Harvard Film Archive is presenting all 13 Stanley Kubrick feature films, early documentaries, and two films to which he contributed, all screened on 35 mm film through April 27. The retrospective runs alongside a course titled "Cinema of Stanley Kubrick." Kubrick's work demonstrates recurring thematic concerns, meticulous technical craft, and formal innovation that sustain audience engagement across decades. Films such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Dr. Strangelove, A Clockwork Orange, and The Shining have influenced other filmmakers and entered popular culture. Even films that received mixed initial reviews often reveal enduring visual power and thematic depth.
