All you need to make a film…

Apparently, that’s all you need.  Word.

Kubrick, Jung and The Duality of Man

So I’m still stuck on good ol’ Kubrick. My objet d’obsession for now.  Just finished watching Full Metal Jacket, and it really sent me into a contemplative mood, especially in regards to the concept of the Duality of Man, which was seemingly a central theme of the film [one of them at least].  […]

Lolita

Stanley Kubrick’s Lolita, 1962

“lonely in the world,
this place can be.”
une poésie de moi, à vous.
