I think I remember the seats still being made of whatever that fabric was, in the late '60s.

But you would agree that a film of it, made censorship-free, would have more than S.K.'s?

Has anyone seen the Adrian Lyne one? I haven't, so I really can't say.
― i love the large auns pictures! (Phil D.), Monday, 30 April 2012 18:43 (1 year ago) Permalink
made me lol:
Adrian Lyne (born 4 March 1941 in Peterborough, then in Northamptonshire, England) is an English filmmaker and producer. He is best known for directing films that focus on sexually charged characters and often uses natural light, a fog machine and other effects to create eroticized atmospheres.

It was surprisingly good coming from Adrian Lyne, or so I thought at the time.

x-post: it almost certainly would have, but i don't know that that would have made it better. the eroticism in the book is mainly in the language VN uses, which would be very hard to translate into a film -- especially because it's inextricable from that weird, playful, completely idiosyncratic nabokovian humor. i think kubrick's 'lolita' nails the humor, at least, but i can't really fault him for not pulling off a completely faithful translation when i can't think of any filmmaker who could have.
tbh i've avoided the lyne thing because i hate 'fatal attraction' as much as any movie i've ever seen and the thought of what AL might do to 'lolita' makes me nauseous.

"In 1985, Stanley Kubrick encouraged me to take photos and keep a journal while playing the lead role of Pvt. Joker on the set of FULL METAL JACKET. In 2005, I published a limited edition book of my photos and diary. This app is based on that book; enriched and reimagined as an interactive, audiovisual experience. I hope you enjoy it!" – Matthew Modine

Killer's Kiss is one weird looking movie. A lot of the shots start out looking like blue-screen work, but then a foreground character will walk into the background. I've got to wonder if it was a technical limitation or just incompetence that produced it.

After Stanley Kubrick
Christiane Kubrick had 42 wonderful years with her husband. But in the decade since his death, she has been beset by tragedy. For the first time, she talks about losing one daughter to cancer, another to Scientology – and why her uncle made films for Goebbels― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, August 19, 2010 10:01 PM (2 years ago) Bookmark

I'm with Bilge Ebiri here on O'Neal in Barry Lyndon:
I think O'Neal gives an excellent performance, and I would direct anyone who does not agree to the scene where he faces his dying son on the deathbed. O'Neal's performance is perfect -- at first, averting his eyes, avoiding eye-contact, and then facing his son, trying to lie to him, telling him that he's not going to die. Listen to the way he whispers his lines, and to the way his voice breaks as he does so. This kind of emoting without affecting is SO difficult, even for the finest actors, that I still have a hard time believing that he was acting in that scene. When he finally breaks up -- it's shattering, every time I watch it, and I've watched this scene many times. Also, note how well his delivery of the story of his heroics matches his earlier delivery of the same story. His intonations are the same, but this time he's got tears in his eyes, and he can't keep it up -- his voice breaks up and he falls apart. O'Neal portrays this deterioration so well that it's terrifying.
Likewise, in those scenes when Barry doesn't quite connect with the audience's emotion -- for instance, when he cries upon first seeing the Chevalier -- this is in fact not a problem with the performance but an intentional moment placed by Kubrick himself. Redmond's tears don't quite reach out to the audience, but let us not forget that the Narrator at this point acknowledges, "There's many a man who will not understand the cause of the burst of feeling which was now about to take place." Likewise, the Narrator discusses the "splendor" and "nobleness" of the Chevalier's appearance and manner, when all we see is a guy in an eyepatch eating eggs and reading a letter. And the scene is devoid of music, which is rare for the more emotional parts of this film. Perhaps Kubrick is acknowledging an inner life beneath his characters, allowing a moment of feeling that we cannot understand; perhaps, as Jean Renoir once advised, 'leaving one door open on his set'.

I've pretty much given up on film podcasts but there's some good stuff on those Cinephiles ones. I'm not generally too bothered about "how did you become a critic?" stuff but there's some good stories and the Uhlich one has some real gems.
