Alison Castle. The Stanley Kubrick Archives (Alison Castle) ; Taschen, 2008

This is the first book to explore Stanley Kubrick's archives and the most comprehensive study of the filmmaker to date. In 1968, when Stanley Kubrick was asked to comment on the metaphysical significance of 2001: A Space Odyssey , he replied: 'It's t a message I ever intended to convey in words. 2001 is a nverbal 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 chrologically and wordlessly via frame enlargements. This is a completely nverbal experience. 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, tes, and shooting schedules. Accompanying the visual material are essays by ted Kubrick scholars, articles written by and about Kubrick, and a selection of Kubrick's best interviews.
