## Description

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.

Review: Amazing, in-depth film book - This is a must-have for Kubrick fans & cinephiles. Outstanding collection of interviews, essays, storyboard sketches and behind-the-scenes photos. Each of his incredible movies receives great coverage.
Review: WARNING: May Cause Disharmony Amongst Heirs - Perhaps you are similar to me and you occasionally justify a purchase by saying to yourself "The kids will enjoy this after I'm gone someday." This rationale helps me feel a little less guilty when I indulge in an expensive purchase. Well, as I review this book I realize a new problem: 40 years from now, as my body lay cooling, my two lovely daughters will probably be engaged in a dispute as to who gets the AWESOME Kubrick book! I am a big fan of Taschen books and I'm also a big Kubrick fan. This book is the ultimate dosage of both. I have well over a hundred Taschen titles and this is definitely one of my favorite three ("Cabinent of Curiosities" and "Complete Costume History" being the other two. All of these are the large-size super-high quality classics that are likely to become sought-after collector's volumes). You've already had this Kubrick book described for you, but I wanted emphasize three points: First, the front page edges are "tabbed" in this book, making access to particular areas (eg, particular films) very convenient. This is really a sophisticated fluorish which makes the book that much more stunning. Second, the snippet of "2001" is nothing less than magical. As I read about it here I thought it sounded a little gimmicky: but when you see a foot-long section of one of the most important films ever made, it is really captivating. The section I received has bright geometric colors which I'm delighted by, but regardless of what you get, you're getting a piece of "2001"!!!! I get the same reverential feeling looking at it as I did when gawking at the original Declaration of Independence! Third, the quality of manufacture here is first-rate. I have been critical of Taschen in recent years because they have so many great books with cheesey/flimsy covers and bindings which don't hold up. I think this has been a MAJOR strategic error at the corporate level for them; they should raise their prices a little and create books which will last 200 years. Well, as to this Kubrick book you don't have to worry about that: this cover is composed of two different types of cloth and it appears very solid and is GORGEOUS. I collect books new and old, and please believe me, you'll be psyched when you see this behemoth! (Due to size and weight you'll still want to hold it carefully so binding doesn't get unduly torqued.) Anyway, it is so great to roll the dice on a book and to win big. If you're a Kubrick fan I encourage you to act quickly and to nail one of these.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good wrap-up
*by D***E on March 25, 2024*

The Stanley Kubrick Archives, newly published by Taschen and edited by Alison Castle, is the perfect overview of Kubrick's storied career. It includes vintage photos and previously published articles, although some are newly edited and expanded. Each film of Kubrick's career is heavily illustrated and described, including almost 100 of 700-plus pages devoted to 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the un-realized projects such as Napoleon and The Aryian Papers, as well as AI, discussed in the epilogue. Editor Castle should be congratulated on such a superb gathering of interesting facts and opinions about one of the finest filmmakers of moviedom's first 100 years. For those people who previously owned Gene D. Phillips' 1975 publication of Stanley Kubrick: A Film Odyssey, Phillips' stories are gathered here and updated. It is no problem overwhelimingly suggesting that followers of Kubrick's work should own this book. Personally, I found myself dropping a book I had previously been reading and diving into this at full speed. Buy it, read it, enjoy it.
