If any cinematographic experience belongs from beginning to end to spectrality (Derrida), in “Kubrick” the relationship between cinema and ghostliness is explicitly evident. Through a performative spell, the projected light frees the images from the proper territory of the specter (neither alive nor dead), giving them life, or, which is the same thing, giving them death.

With commentary from Hollywood stars, outtakes from his movies and footage from his youth, this documentary looks at Stanley Kubrick's life and films. Director Jan Harlan, Kubrick's brother-in-law and sometime collaborator, interviews heavyweights like Jack Nicholson, Woody Allen and Sydney Pollack, who explain the influence of Kubrick classics like "Dr. Strangelove" and "2001: A Space Odyssey," and how he absorbed visual clues from disposable culture such as television commercials.
