The J. Francis/Kubrick Correspondences - 03.12.1957

J. Francis to Kubrick

March 12, 1957


Stanley,


Paths of Glory is the most honest film I’ve ever seen about command. You didn't just show war—you unmasked it. It reminded me of something I scribbled years ago: “floating is just sinking in denial.”


What you’ve made is more than cinema. It’s an x-ray of military myth.


—J. Francis
