The Stanley Kubrick Archives

Produktbeskrivelse

This is the first book to explore Stanley Kubrick’s 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: “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 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 Killer’s Kiss to the final frames of Eyes Wide Shut , Kubrick’s 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 Kubrick’s 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 Kubrick’s best interviews .
