Starting out in New York as an exceptional photographer, Kubrick taught himself the ropes of film production and direction. His ground breaking works, though often met with mixed reviews, garnered nominations for Golden Globes, Oscars and BAFTAS. The Astor will be screening the entire Kubrik collection, commencing on Sunday April 21 with a double feature of Fear and Desire (1953) and Killer’s Kiss (1955). His other classics include Dr. Strangelove (1964), Lolita (1962), A Clockwork Orange (1971), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), The Shining: Extended Version (1980) and Eyes Wide Shut (1999).
