Kubrick

About this book

The classic study of Kubrick--available once again and fully updated If Stanley Kubrick had made only 2001: A Space Odyssey or Dr. Strangelove his cinematic legacy would have been assured. But from his first feature film Fear and Desire to the posthumously released Eyes Wide Shut Kubrick created an accomplished body of work unique in its scope diversity and artistry and by turns both lauded and controversial. In this newly revised and definitive edition of his now classic study film critic Michel Ciment provides an insightful examination of Kubricks thirteen films-including such favorites as Lolita A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket-alongside an assemblage of more than four hundred photographs that form a complementary photo essay. Rounding out this unique work are a short biography of Kubrick; interviews with the director as well as cast and crew members including Malcolm McDowell Shelley Duvall and Jack Nicholson; and a detailed filmography and bibliography. Meshed with masterful integrity the books text and illustrations pay homage to one of the most visionary original and demanding filmmakers of our time.
