INTRODUCCION:
Stanley Kubrick posiblemente sea el mayor director de cine de la historia. Hay, ciertamente, otros genios que pueden pelear dicho lugar de privilegio (como Orson Welles, sin ir mas lejos). Pero ninguno tuvo una producción tan pareja de obras monumentales como Kubrick. Echados por el Macartismo, abominados por los estudios, o con problemas para financiar sus proyectos, ninguno pudo hacer lo que hizo Kubrick, de obtener contratos exclusivos y tener manos libres para realizar lo que quisiere. Esto no siempre significó una carta blanca (los retrasos y presiones sobre el rodaje de 2001 fueron memorables). Pero dentro de lo que significa la maquinaria cinematográfica comercial, Kubrick resultó siendo un privilegiado. Al momento de filmar Dr. Strangelove, ya había captado la atención internacional con Espartaco y con Lolita (una turbulenta historia de amores pedofílicos), y seguiría con 2001, Odisea del Espacio y La Naranja Mecánica, que culminarían con la época de apogeo del director. El resto de sus obras, a partir de Barry Lyndon no son tan redondas, amén de que Kubrick desarrollaría una conducta cada vez más reclusiva y obsesiva, y los intervalos en su producción serían cada vez más largos.
