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. 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. A completely nonverbal experience. 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 two-star review? Why? Here's why!! Barry Krusch I really wanted to give this book 5 stars, I really did. But, quite frankly, I am mystified why anyone would give this book 5 stars. Yes, this book was desperately needed, and yes, there is a lot of great content here. Unfortunately, the book suffers from several fatal flaws.In the 1st place, the 1st half of the book simply consists of still frames from the movies as they were shot. That is to say, nothing archival there. In other words, if you have seen the movie, you have seen the. UNLIKE ANY OTHER BOOK ON STANLEY KUBRICK (Get it !) DirectedBy An outstanding book indeed !Looking at this most excellent document again and again -- I felt as if I was invited into Mr. Kubrick's large family kitchen (on most any night he was with us mere mortals) and sat there with him going over the notes, the location pictures, etc., and was 'there' as he, we, they discussed the who,what,where & how it was going to be, in the most minute details, on any and-or all of his films.NOTE: If that was one long sentence, it was on purpose. And tha. Kubrick treasure S Tuffnell This is certainly a wonderful book in any format and well worth purchasing to dip into the incredible mind of Kubrick. This reprint of the book is half the size of the first but of course its way cheaper and affordable for the average movie fan. There is no interview Cd or 2001 cinefilm, certain drawcards to purchasing the original book, but its got the same photos and info as the original. I was slightly disappointed as to the size of the book as I expected it to be the same massiv
