Synopsis

A few years after his death, the widow of Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999) asks Jon Ronson to look through the contents of about 1,000 boxes of meticulously sorted materials Kubrick left. Ronson finds that most contain materials reflecting work Kubrick did after the release of "Barry Lindon " in 1975, when Kubrick’s film output slowed down. Ronson finds audition tapes for “Full Metal Jacket,” photographs to find the right hat for “Clockwork Orange” or the right doorway for “Eyes Wide Shut” — thousands of details that went into Kubrick’s meticulous approach. Ransom believes that the boxes show “the rhythm of genius.” Interviews with family, staff, and friends are included. —IMDb

I think the guy is still important, but there's a reason why most people pick him up when they first start catching cinephilia. Rivette's quote about him being a machine sums up all my feelings for him. The boxes just make him seem OCD, and while impressive, don't necessarily rekindle my old love for his films. There's more out there, anyway.

Mostly a talk about the boxes. Very little content is shown.
