Yale Film Archive: Kubrick’s Maze Film Series

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Stanley Kubrick, 1964, 35mm, 95 mins)

Flying Padre (Stanley Kubrick, 1951, 35mm, 9 mins)

There’s fighting in the War Room when a mad brigadier general unleashes nuclear-armed B-52s on the USSR in this pitch-black Cold War satire. “Kubrick’s most radical film and greatest dramatic gamble” (Joshua Rothkopf) stars Peter Sellers (in three roles), George C. Scott, Sterling Hayden, and a rip-roaring Slim Pickens. Dr. Strangelove is presented with Flying Padre, a short documentary about a pilot/priest. Dr. Strangelove from the Yale Film Archive, Flying Padre preserved by the Library of Congress.

Yale Film Archive’s Kubrick’s Maze(Link is external) (Link opens in new window) is a complete retrospective of the peerless, provocative cinema of Stanley Kubrick, screened entirely from film prints.
