Kubrick had a background in photography and was well known as a perfectionist on set. He moved to England in the early 1960s to make Lolita and lived there for the rest of his life. He owned Childwickbury Manor north of St Albans and was sometimes described as a recluse. Much of the filming of his later movies involved careful reproduction of foreign locations, e.g., scenes in Full Metal Jacket were filmed at Beckton Gasworks.
Kubrick died before filming on his last project, AI, began.
