The Complete Kubrick

[MichaelB]

The Quay Brothers' Nocturna Artificialia was in a similar position—it was the Quays' first film, they've pretty much disowned it, and would have much preferred it not to be included in the BFI compilation.

The problem was that the BFI produced it and owned it outright, and so they ultimately had no say.

But I agreed with them that if I stuck it on the extras disc instead of the main one, and promised not to cut anything negative that they said about it in the interview, they'd consider that an acceptable compromise. And since there are few things that I enjoy more than filmmakers slagging off their own work, I was only too happy to go along with it.

That price just about made my eyes pop out of my head. There’s no denying it’s worth it, but I don’t know if I can afford it.
