The Stanley Kubrick Archives

<p><span>The Stanley Kubrick Archives showed up one morning in our offices, where my editor and I circled it like curious apes. Time Out, New York</span></p>
<p><span>This is the first book to explore Stanley Kubricks 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: Its not a message I ever intended to convey in words. 2001 is a nonverbal experienceÂ…. 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 Killers Kiss to the final frames of Eyes Wide Shut, Kubricks complete films are presented chronologically and wordlessly via frame enlargements. A completely nonverbal experience.</span></p>
