The most comprehensive study of Stanley Kubrick to date. His films are nothing short of superb visual experiences; big screen storytelling at its very best. Featuring enlarged film stills and previously unseen Kubrick material, including posters, set designs, props, screenplays, and shooting schedules, this richly illustrated book offers unprecedented access to the auteur at work.
The Stanley Kubrick Archives showed up one morning in our offices, where my editor and I circled it like curious apes. Time Out, New York
This is the first book to explore Stanley Kubricks archives and the most comprehensive study of the filmmaker to date. In 1968, when Stanley Kubrick was asked to comment on the metaphysical significance of 2001: A Space Odyssey, he replied: Its not a message I ever intended to convey in words. 2001 is a nonverbal experience. I tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content. The philosophy behind Part 1 of The Stanley Kubrick Archives borrows from this line of thinking: from the opening sequence of Killers Kiss to the final frames of Eyes Wide Shut, Kubricks complete films are presented chronologically and wordlessly via frame enlargements. A completely nonverbal experience.
The second part of the book brings to life the creative process of Kubricks filmmaking by presenting a remarkable collection of mostly unseen material from his archives, including photographs, props, posters, artwork, set designs, sketches, correspondence, documents, screenplays, drafts, notes, and shooting schedules.
Accompanying the visual material are essays by noted Kubrick scholars, articles written by and about Kubrick, and a selection of Kubricks best interviews.
