Feels quite stilted.
I've seen some call Kubrick a 'cold' director. Someone who was more interested in the technical aspects than the 'humanity' and emotions. I do feel that's true.
I agree and I think it transcended his work as a director, look at how he treated Shelley Duvall outside of the technical nature of his directorial duties, she wasn’t a person to him, just a means to end.
If always makes me sick when I think about what he did to her, and how how no one stepped in to defend or support her, or maybe they didn’t know, but that seems unlikely.
