Meticulously designed images edited together with authoritative
precision, often set against an expertly selected choice of music. It
is pure cinema, deriving meaning through visual composition and
arrangement. Through hard work and skill, Kubrick moved himself in to
the unique position where he could assert the same authorship over an
entire film as he could to one of his photographs. His passion and
determination as a director gave him the reputation of a master
auteur, to the point where he controlled everything from the first

just 13 films Kubrick gave us a body of work to rival the best of any
artist in any medium, with arguably the highest percentage of widely
recognised masterpieces of any director in the world.
