The cult director would have turned 86 on July 26years. In honor of this event, we decided to recall several interiors from his most famous films. Stanley Kubrick was one of the most influential and controversial directors in the world of cinema. Each of his films, from Spartacus to A Clockwork Orange, has become not only a subject of modern art, but also a philosophical puzzle that will be solved by more than one generation. Today, the cult director Stanley Kubrick would have turned 86 years old. In honor of this event, we will recall the interiors of his 3 most famous works.
1. The Shining, 1980. Overlook Hotel interior
It's a creepy place, isn't it?Huge rooms, endless corridors and a completely crazy layout. The director did everything to make the hotel guests feel like they are not at home. The thickness of the walls here regularly changes, many doors lead to nowhere, the windows are arranged in a chaotic order, the size of the rooms is completely impossible to predict. And all this is not a blooper, but a deliberate attempt to mislead the viewer: no matter how attentive and sophisticated you are, you will not be able to predict what awaits the hero around the next turn. And it does not matter whether it is a turn in the corridor or in the plot.
2. "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968). Spaceship interior
In front of the creators of the space sceneryThe ship's designers, Oscar winners Anthony Masters, Harry Lange and Ernest Archer, had a difficult task: the ship had to match the description of Arthur C. Clarke (the screenwriter and author of the short stories on which the film is based) and at the same time reflect the director's unique vision. At the time of the film's release (1968), the ship's interior was more than futuristic: filled with equipment of mysterious purpose, it still had a right to exist. And, as time has shown, the future (at least of interior design) is moving in the direction Stanley Kubrick had long planned. Take a look at the room with the red chairs - a very modern restaurant.
3. A Clockwork Orange, 1971
White interiors of wealthy citizens of the future(according to Stanley Kubrick) are quite consistent with today's realities. Straight lines, minimalism, natural wood and chalk boards (for example, the destroyed library), oddly enough, have gained their relevance 40 years after the film was released. Of course, we can talk for a long time about the insight of talented people and their hypersensitivity to changes in the shaky matter of time, but most often such intersections of fiction with reality occur thanks to fans of the work of this or that person. Most likely, Stanley Kubrick's films inspired a huge number of designers and architects, which is generally not surprising.
