4º – The Shining (Stanley Kubrick, 1980)
Based on the novel by Stephen King, the film bears the story of a family that sees, little by little, their lives go into a degenerative process, after the husband takes a job in a hotel. Despite the polemics raised by Stephen King, saying that the film does not present the synthesis of his book, ‘The Shining’ manages to be known as a true masterpiece of horror cinema. A film that shows the best of the genre, with concise character constructions, atmosphere creation and unique direction.
3º – Eyes Wide Shut (Stanley Kubrick, 1999)
As in ‘The Shining’, all the charm of this film focuses on the pleasant and unique atmosphere built by Kubrick. Here, we will see a plot permeated by nuances, exposing a mixture of mystery, betrayal and obsession. ‘ Eyes Wide Shut’ is a film scorned in the director’s filmography, but undoubtedly characterized as one of his best works.
2º – 2001 – A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968)
In a journey through time, we will see basic points of the human constitution in the world. Tired, the movie rewards the viewer at the end, making us enter into a process of reappraisal of the definition of life. What most impresses in ‘2001 – A Space Odyssey’, however, is the flawless form in which it was conceived, with timeless constructions of scenes.
1º – A Clockwork Orange (Stanley Kubrick, 1971)
The plot exposes an unpleasant futuristic reality, in which the human exacerbation reigns and the chaos appears. ‘A Clockwork Orange’ uses its 136 minutes of duration to enthrall your viewer. Even with its latent violence, the film mitigates the effects of this with a masterful direction and slight touches of humor in its plot. Every detail of this film marks the viewer. One of the greatest works ever delivered to the seventh art.
