Influence of Stanley Kubrick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Part of the New Hollywood wave, Kubrick's films are considered by film historian Michel Ciment to be "among the most important contributions to world cinema in the twentieth century",[1] and he is frequently cited as one of the greatest and most influential directors in the history of cinema.[2][3] According to film historian and Kubrick scholar Robert Kolker,[4][5][6][7] Kubrick's films were "more intellectually rigorous than the work of any other American filmmaker."[4]
Orson Welles, one of Kubrick's strongest personal influences, famously said: "Among those whom I would call 'younger generation', Kubrick appears to me to be a giant."[8]
