L’Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France interprète la bande originale de "Barry Lyndon". Un ensorcelant voyage dans l’univers du mélomane Stanley Kubrick. Découvrez les musiques qui ont marqué des générations de spectateurs.
"À moins que vous ne vouliez de la musique pop, il est vain d’employer quelqu’un qui n’est pas l’égal d’un Mozart, d’un Beethoven ou d’un Strauss pour écrire une musique orchestrale", jugeait Stanley Kubrick lors d’un entretien avec Michel Ciment. L’histoire est connue : pour 2001 : l’odyssée de l’espace, la MGM l’obligea à s’associer au compositeur Alex North. Lorsque ce dernier livra sa partition, le réalisateur la rejeta et imposa au studio les œuvres préexistantes qu’il avait lui-même sélectionnées. Par la suite, fidèle à sa ligne de conduite, il continua à faire de la musique, essentiellement classique, un élément central de son cinéma, notamment dans Barry Lyndon, dont la bande-son a marqué des générations de spectateurs.
Placé sous la direction de Nicolas Altstaedt, l’Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France, accompagné par cinq solistes – les clavecinistes Violaine Cochard et Jean Rondeau, la violoniste Ana Millet, le violoncelliste Renaud Guieu et la pianiste Catherine Cournot –, interprète ici entre autres les deux célèbres leitmotive musicaux de cette fresque inoubliable : la Sarabande de Haendel et le Trio pour piano, violon et violoncelle opus 100 de Schubert.

2020: an isolation odyssey is a reenactment of the iconic finale of 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968). Restaged in the context of home quarantine, the journey through time adapts to the mundane dramas of self-isolation–poking fun at the navel-gazing saga of life alone and indoors.

Diz a Agenda Cultural de Lisboa: "Um dos filmes à época menos compreendidos de Kubrick. Mas 40 anos depois, na sua versão digital restaurada, que vai ser reposta no Reino Unido em 45 cinemas (e em Portugal em exclusivo no Cinema Ideal, em Lisboa), o filme continua a ser uma indiscutível obra maior na filmografia de Stanley Kubrick."
After making its way around the world, the incredible exhibition of Stanley Kubrick's work has arrived in San Francisco. Adam Savage tours the exhibit to show you some of his favorite items. From rare camera equipment to pre-production artwork and film props, these objects connect us to one of cinema's greatest minds.
A supercut examining Stanley Kubrick's use of the color red.
I have always been fascinated by color as a form of non-verbal communication. Color has a profound and powerful psychological effect on us and it makes the perfect tool for providing subtext in film—as well as supporting a certain theme or providing the right mood.
Kubrick has always used red to great effect—not only for atmosphere but for the fact that the various meanings ascribed to red echo many of the themes in his films.
Red’s many meanings include: death, blood, danger, anger, energy, war, strength, power, determination…but also passion, desire, love, and sex. All prominent themes in Kubrick’s work. But more importantly the very dualistic nature of red (the fact that it can mean anger but also love) plays right into the grand “Jungian" theme in all of Kubrick’s work which is this notion of Duality: sex and violence, birth and death, war and peace, fear and desire...
In the end my motivation to make this piece was simply to contribute to the growing collection of deconstruction surrounding Kubrick's work found on the web and to inspire people to revisit or discover his catalog of films and to think more critically about color in film.

A Hitchcock mashup where Kubrick is the villain. "Jimmy was having a rather beautiful day until he bumped into Jack and things got weird." Directed by: Adrien Dezalay, Emmanuel Delabaere, Simon Philippe.
"A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later." ― Stanley Kubrick
