The duality of being a U.S. Marine—to train to kill but also be expendable—is captured with cold, hard irony in Kubrick’s clinical take on the (Vietnam) war movie. 

With incredible restraint and backed by all-round excellent performances, Kubrick’s exploration into a revolting form of sexual obsession is remarkable for its implicit portrayal of an erotic relationship between a (step)father and his daughter.

A masterpiece of baroque horror cinema that continues to haunt through tone, technique and characterisation.

Kubrick’s dystopian masterpiece frustrates, angers, provokes, and ultimately floors you in ways unlike that of other great films.

Kubrick’s most influential film still remains way ahead of its time and is arguably the greatest sci-fi film ever made.
