Ah but Kubrick was a Master of camera movement. Look at the shots of Douglas walking through the trenches in “Paths of Glory” or Gary Lockwood jogging in “2001.” His first master was Ophuls whose “Look Ma, No Walls” style he apes in “Lolita” And there’s plenty of camera movement of interest in “Barry Lyndon” and even “Eyes Wide Shut” (which should have been done as a “period” film in Vienna like Schnitzler novel on which it’s based.)

And that’s not to mention “The Shining” (his greatest work IMO)

All the more surprising that Kubrick didn’t acknowledge camera movement as a fundamental difference between the cinematic and theatrical.

Fiona reminds me that for his stage production of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Ken Campbell mounted the audience on a hovercraft which transported them from one set to another. But that’s a fairly unique case.
