Trailer
Why watch this film?
Stanley Kubrick's last (and most controversial) film. Technically and visually flawless, with a story full of sexual appeal and mystery. Such a tumultuous production that it entered into the Guinness Book of Records as having the longest single continuous shooting period in movie history - 400 days. A lot is also theorized that Kubrick's death, just a few days after the completion of the film, was related to the themes denounced in the movie, referring to practices committed by Hollywood's high society.

From the same director
2001: A Space Odyssey
One of the greatest science fiction films of all time, with a screenplay co-written by Arthur C. Clarke, one of the greatest writers in the English genre. In addition to dealing with scientific concepts and space travel very accurately, with breathtaking scenes, the feature film addresses deep topics such as existentialism, the evolution of technology and extraterrestrial life. We still feel the impact of this movie on world cinema today.
Barry Lyndon
Although it was not well received at the time, 'Barry Lyndon' is now considered one of the best films by master Stanley Kubrick, which says a lot coming from the creator of '2001: A Space Odyssey' and 'A Clockwork Orange.' Its more than three hours may be excessive for many nowadays, but it's still a fascinating drama about fate and ambition. Special mention goes to its innovative photography, with beautiful images that replicate the paintings of the era in candlelight, something very difficult to achieve.
Full Metal Jacket
It's the twelfth film by master Stanley Kubrick (and one of his most underrated), released after a long break of seven years following "The Shining". The movie is based on the semi-autobiographical novel "A Steel Vest" ("The Short-Timers") by Gustav Hasford, and it has an Oscar-nominated screenplay co-written by him, Kubrick and war correspondent Michael Herr, author of the book "Dispatches" (which also inspired Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now"). As such, "Full Metal Jacket" is one of the most brutal portraits that cinema has given of the psychological cost of war, best exemplified by the chilling scene with soldier Pyle (Vincent D'Onofrio) in the bathroom. Special mention to Lee Ermey's performance as Sergeant Hartman, who has inspired an entire archetype of how military personnel are represented in fiction.
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
With the Cuban Missile Crisis still fresh in memory and the paranoia of the Cold War at its peak, Stanley Kubrick dared to pose a hypothetical scenario: what would happen if the worst person possible had control over the worst weapon ever invented by humankind? The result is a masterful marathon of black humor that achieves something that would seem impossible: making us laugh at the scenario of our own nuclear war extinction. 'Dr. Insólito' (better known as 'Dr. Strangelove', its original title) is a satire set during the Cold War, but it is chillingly relevant even today. With performances worthy of a lecture hall (the brilliant Peter Sellers plays three roles in the movie and you'd hardly notice), this is another gem in Kubrick's perfect filmography, which has tackled war more than once from different angles, but never with such originality as in this one.
A Clockwork Orange
From master Stanley Kubrick and based on the homonymous novel by Anthony Burgess, 'A Clockwork Orange' marked a point of no return for the representation of violence on screen, at a time that coincided with the premieres of movies such as 'Bonnie and Clyde' or 'Night of the Living Dead'. And everything in it, from production design, to costumes, the use of music and Malcolm McDowell's brilliant performance will mark you forever, in this ironic dissection of violence, its morality and its nature.
The Shining
An adaptation - albeit with many changes - of Stephen King's book, 'The Shining' is one of Stanley Kubrick's masterpieces, featuring a remarkable performance by Jack Nicholson. When it was released, the movie was not well understood, but over time it became a cult phenomenon and has remained frightening to this day. Warning: The version on HBO GO is the European one, about 25 minutes shorter. On other platforms the movie is in its longer version.
Drama
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
Baby
After his release from a juvenile center, Wellington finds himself homeless in São Paulo. At a porn theater, he meets Ronaldo, who mentors him in street survival. Their bond evolves into a turbulent affair.
Cake
'Cake' takes us into the darkly funny world of Claire Bennett (Jennifer Aniston) who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower (Sam Worthington) while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife (Anna Kendrick). With her feisty housekeeper cum caretaker (Adriana Barraza) ever at her side, Claire searches for human connection and self-forgiveness in this tale of personal redemption.
Lie With Me
Lie With Me (Arrête avec tes mensonges) - An emotional French drama directed by Olivier Peyo, has been awarded the award for Best Narrative Feature Film at FilmOut San Diego. The film follows a writer who returns to his hometown of Cognac after 35 years to represent a cognac brand and reunites with the son of his first love, a role played by Victor Belmondo, triggering an avalanche of passionate memories of his youth.
