In 1968, when Stanley Kubrick was asked to comment on the metaphysical significance of 2001: A Space Odyssey, he replied: "It's not a message I ever intended to convey in words. 2001 is a nonverbal experience... I tried to create a visual experience, one that directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content." Now available as part of our Bibliotheca Universalis series, The Stanley Kubrick Archives borrows from the director's philosophy. From the opening sequence of Killer's Kiss to the final frames of Eyes Wide Shut, it allows the masterful visuals of Kubrick's films to impress through a sequence of compelling, mesmerizing stills. We uncover Kubrick's creative process through fascinating archival material, including set designs, sketches, correspondence, documents, screenplays, drafts, notes, and shooting schedules. Accompanying the visual and archival material are essays by noted Kubrick scholars, articles written by and about Kubrick, and a selection of Kubrick's best interviews. The result is a visual, archival, and scholarly journey through masterworks of 20th-century cinema and the meticulous mind of the director behind them.… (more)

This is an informative overview of Stanley Kubrick’s films, from his initial works in the early 1950s to his final ‘Eyes wide shut’ completed shortly before his untimely death in 1999. The format is for each film to have its own chapter, richly illustrated with stills form the film, together with photos taken while filming was in progress. There is then a resume of the film plot followed by a commentary on the writing and shooting of the film and the critical reaction after the film’s release. Finally there is an essay or interview about the film, by a variety of writers. There is also a discussion of Kubrick’s unrealised projects for films, a chronology of his life and an extensive bibliography. With the inclusion of a selection of contributors, including some from Kubrick’s family, the book makes for a wide-ranging, informative and fascinating introduction to his life and films.

This carefully collated compilation of writings, interviews, essays, photographs, and artifacts on Stanley Kubrick's illustrious career is the perfect reference for any fan. Each movie is thoroughly covered, including behind-the-scenes information and plenty of supplemental visuals that give more context about the making of each film. The interviews (with Kubrick) that often accommodate each movie/chapter provide the most value and give the reader a glimpse into the mind of this movie genius. A highly recommended read for all movie fans. ( )
