He is considered by many the greatest film director the medium has ever known. Yet in a 45-year career, Stanley Kubrick's films number only a dozen. That he strove for perfection is well established. What is less known is that he lavished years of energy on several films that never saw the flickering light of the silver screen. Through interviews and abundant archival materials, this documentary examines these "lost" films in depth to discover what drew Kubrick to these projects, the work he did to prepare them for production, and why they ultimately were abandoned.

The film constructs its narrative around the creative process itself, relying on rare storyboards, correspondence, and the director's notes. It explores the 'kitchen' of genius through testimonies from collaborators and scholars, where grand visions were born and abandoned.
What lingers after viewing is not just regret for lost masterpieces, but a profound understanding of the obsession that drove Kubrick. It's a portrait of an artist in dialogue with his most ambitious demons. — MovieFinder Editorial
