About this product

Product Information

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.

  • A feast

    Being a Kubrick fan, I could not wait to get my hands and eyes on this book. Whilst I have only just started reading it, the book is obviously very well compiled and backed up with the usual excellent quality from Taschen. Well written plus many photographs, it is a feast for the aficionado. There is a larger version if you have the space and money. If living in the UK, then I can recommend the current Kubrick archive exhibition at the Design Museum in London. Enjoy the book and show.

  • So much quality content.

    Essential reading for any Kubrick fan. I have the physically smaller version which makes it far more of a pick up and read title.
