## Caption

Which one are you watching? 👁️ 👄 👁️ Pioneered by visionary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, the "Kubrick Stare" distinctly portrays the film's subject with a down-tilted head staring straight-on, while the camera shoots them at eye-level or a slightly low angle. This chilling cinematic motif appears throughout Kubrick's filmography – often representing a character’s descent into madness, obsession, or a psychological breakdown. See this powerful technique in action tonight as we showcase his work every Thursday this month to celebrate our latest podcast season of The Plot Thickens: Stanley. Stream Episode 1 on 9/24 wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more with the link in our bio. #kubrickstare #stanleykubrick #stanleykubrickfilm #filmtok #movietok
