Alert to Australian KUBRICK fans! A wonderful festival headed your way!
Alrighty friends in Australia, here's the lowdown on a celebration of Kubrick headed your way. This is THE way to see these films and by all means, find yourself in the theater to see this retrospective of the master's work. If ever there was a filmmaker who's work belonged solely upon the silver screen and not upon the small pixel cubes in your living room, it is Kubrick. On the big screen his films are simply perfection. Go take part in this. Harry out.
STANLEY KUBRICK
(1928 - 1999)
R e t r o s p e c t i v e
Palace Cinemas invite you to celebrate the work of a true master of modern
cinema, the legendary filmmaker - Stanley Kubrick.
In Sydney from July 30 - August 4, launching a four state tour, Palace
Cinemas will present a rare and prestigious event. Over six days, ten
classic films by Stanley Kubrick will screen at the Palace Academy Twin
Cinema. All are brand new 35 mm prints struck from the archives of Warner
Bros and approved by Kubrick's estate.
Screening in chronological order, the season will culminate in Sydney with
the first public screening of EYES WIDE SHUT. This exclusive retrospective
festival will be the only opportunity to experience Kubrick's oeuvre on the
cinema screen; at the conclusion of the event the prints will be returned
to London for a season at the NFT in September, for whom the prints were
originally struck.

Normally we get all this kinda stuff. Goddamn.
-
These prints were made for the NFT in England for screening there. This list included A Clockwork Orange. Hmmmn. What does this mean, I wonder?
-
Strewth, we never get anything like this in England. Living here is shit!
-
First of all, living in England is a hell of lot better than living in that convict-ridden shithole known as Australia. Second of all, if you actually read the article is stated in no unclear terms that this festival is due for exhibition in LONDON in September and infact the prints were commisioned by the National Film Theatre of the UK. Can we get a clue please? "Mel"
-
sorry Mel, must have missed it in my blind rage...
-
Those bastards! By the way Mel, I admire your patriotism but England would be up there with China, Russia, Antarctica, Kosovo, Libya and Japan as the last places on earth I would ever want to live. I'm sure those convicts were laughing their asses off when they were dumped in Australia. By the way isn't A Clockwork Orange banned in England?
-
How did a discussion about a Kubrick film festival turn into a petty-minded, jingoistic attack on other people's countires?
-
A Clockwork Orange isn't banned in the UK - Kubrick personally withdrew the film from distribution after a couple of copycat crimes.
-
I live in Melbourne!!! Ha ha suffer everyone who isn't Australian!!!
-
A Clockwork Orange was relased in England, but Kubrick withdrew the distribution after a couple of copycat crimes. Because of this, A Clockwork Orange is not alowed to be shown in this country, for fear of prosicution by Warner Brothers. So, if being prosecuted for showing the film in this country isn't what you would call being banned, what is?

Anybody know if the films are going to be at theaters here in th
by spike lee
I think that would be a great tribute by Warners, and also bring in great box office reciepts.
-
Wohoo, Im there...Ive always wanted to see Kubricks best film PATHS OF GLORY on the big screen. And its only a 30 minute suburban train trip to inner Sydney.
Arent us Aussies damn lucky fuckers!!!! -
This is hereby the declaration of war upon Canada's fellow Commonwealth country. We will bomb you with Molson Canadian (a truly grotesque beer), back bacon (tastes good but the salt level will kill you) and Bob and Doug MacKenzie Action Figures (complete with the Coleman Campstove play-set and "action toques"). This will continue until you send the Kubrick Film festival to Vancouver, Toronto, Halifax, Saskatoon, and Moose Jaw (although Calgary is bigger then the entire provonce of Saskatchewan, it's even more of a cultural black hole). Thank you very much, and have a good war, eh!
-
I could've sworn that I heard somewhere (although for the life of me, I can't remember where) that 2001 is going to be rereleased, digitally remastered, with brand new scenes (ok, just kidding about that part) on Dec 31, 2000.
-
Damn. I guess I'll have to hop on a plane and fly to Australia to see these Kubrick films on the big screen, huh? With the money Warner Bros. spends hyping their new "event" movies, they should invest in these classics. A national run of THE KILLING, PATHS OF GLORY, DR. STRANGELOVE, 2001, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, BARRY LYNDON, THE SHINING, and FULL METAL JACKET. Why not? Charge one admission price, and spread 'em over a couple of days/evenings. I want to see classic Kubrick on the big screen, dammit!!
-
It was on teletext movie news a couple of weeks ago that Warners were considering re-submitting A Clockwork Orange to The U.K. censors for nationwide cinema release (A lot easier to do now S.K. is not around to sue anyone), although nothing about is has appeared on Big Brother's website (www.bbfc.co.uk), so Warners must still must be "considering" it. I would be very suprised if it did not come out at some point, though, given the amount of money the re-released Exorcist made.
-
Damn it, why is Australia holding a Kubrick film festival and not us! It isn't fair. Us Americans
love Kubrick's movies and we're sad when he died. Everybody else in the world such as the U.K.
and Australia hated Kubrick
and thought his films were
over-rated. If you need proof
that these comments are true,
look no further than
popcorn.co.uk, the firstmost
UK film site where there's an article by Sarah Bunting saying
"filmmakers don't get more over-rated than S.K.", and
as proof all Australians had
a negative opinion on Kubrick
read Encore magazine's article
written by writer/director
Bob Ellis, an Australian who said
Kubrick was superficial and
insubstantial. Why Kubrick's films
are getting such lavish treatments
in countries which hated him
and we're angry at all the hype
that his death got is beyond me.
-
Sorry, about my last post.
I am deeply sorry if I have
offended any Australians
or English. I like Sarah Bunting
and while she didn't like Kubrick, she did like Tim Burton,
one of my favorite directors.
Plus, Ellis did like
Thin Red Line over SPR.
I guess I'm just pissed off
that the people in Australia
are having a Kubrick film festival
and that we in America aren't.
Instead, we're forced to wait
till July 16th to see a Kubrick film gracing the big wide silver screen of a movie theatre.
Oh, well. Again, sorry if I offended anybody with my remarks.
Just blowing off the steam and
tried to blame it on somebody
and I'm sorry, I'll never do
something like that again.

All I can say is this is the best news I've had all year. Especially since the cinemas they're playing at are 5 minutes from my house!!!
YeeHAA!!!!! -
Those of you who were lucky enough to see ACO when it came out in 1971 saw the original X-rated version.
It says "All are brand new 35 mm prints struck from the archives of Warner Bros and approved by Kubrick's estate." If this is so, there is a chance that the new ACO print could be the original X-rated print!! But then again, ACO was cut down to an "R" in 1973 so it may be the R-rated print because it was approved by the estate (unless the reasons why it was cut are otherwise).
Any thoughts on this? -
The writer of the book, Anthony Burgess, lived in Malaysia once. In the language of that country, the word "orang" means "man." The British have an expression "a clockwork fruit" and the title was a play on this. At the end of the movie, the main character has become "a clockwork man." Just a machine - he's not nonviolent by personal choice, but by aversion therapy.
