inderweltsein Oct 01, 2019 I have seen this new presentation (doc+film) of the film in Venice 3 weeks ago.



For the anecdot, to the usually externally red theater, all lights inside were red, so the room was all red, and we entered under the initiatory music of the Circle.



The very short documentary is interesting but not absolutely great. Even if it only mainly evokes how they reacted and dealt with Kubrick's death, the good part is that it underlines how much this was a dear and so old project to Kubrick, and Katherina gives her own take about what for Kubrick one of the meaning of the film was.

But it won't really learn you anything you don't know about the film.



The director of the doc was there, he explained that it was while working with the Kubrick clan on another bigger project with them that he understood how much they were all eager to speak about EWS. The doc, despite being mainly a Park Circus production, coproduced in minority by Warner, is copyrighted by Warner, so it shows that Warner intends to use it (maybe one day when they re-release it in theater without Park Circus, but also probably for a video release).



The DCP of the film was absolutely perfect, but as I can't remember details from my previous screening of the film a few years ago, I do not know whether it is the same or a very new one..
