TODAY marks the 50th anniversary of “2001: A Space Odyssey” premiere. To celebrate, Cannes will premiere an “unrestored” 70mm print, followed by select North American screenings and a 4K Blu-ray releases later this year. ⬛️ “For the first time since the original film’s release, this 70mm print was struck from new printing elements made from the original camera negative meaning it’s a true photochemical film recreation.” Stanley Kubrick would be proud.

“The Kubrick Stare, sometimes referred to as the Kubrick Glare, is a common camera shot of an actor in most of Stanley Kubrick’s films. The Kubrick Glare has been called the “heavy-browed look of insanity”. It symbolizes that the character in question is either really, really pissed or really becoming deranged, and the person they’re looking at is really, really screwed. Other times—usually when combined with a smile—it means they’re feeling really, really clever. Either way, it’s really creepy and ominous.”
