Stanley Kubrick, professional pack rat

1 comment July 17th, 2008

Courtesy of Hollywood Elsewhere, here’s STANLEY KUBRICK’S BOXES, a mesmerizing documentary by British journalist Jon Ronson about the more than 1,000 boxes of personal (mostly movie-related) items left behind by the legendary director. It’s about an hour long, but well worth a look.

 Also worth a look, incidentally, are Ronson’s books – THEM: ADVENTURES OF EXTREMISTS and THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS. They’re both fascinating and funny, and George Clooney is supposedly set to star in a movie based on GOATS. (And yes, it really is about men who stare at goats.)
