The Stanley Kubrick Archives  (English, Hardcover, unknown)

The world according to Kubrick Part I: The films 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 I 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 will be presented chronologically and wordlessly via frame enlargements. A completely nonverbal experience. Part II: The archives The second part of the book will present a remarkable collection of material from Kubrick's archives (photographs, props, posters, artwork, set designs, sketches, correspondence, documents, screenplays, drafts, notes, shooting schedules, etc.), bringing to life the creative process of Kubrick's filmmaking; accompanying the visual material will be essays from noted Kubrick scholars Michel Ciment and Gene Phillips, new interviews with dozens of Kubrick's collaborators, and a selection of Kubrick's best interviews.
