Description:
Few cinematic figures
can boast the scope, breadth, talent, and influence of Stanley Kubrick.
Visionary, auteur, artist, director.... His brilliant canon of films is
unsurpassed in modern cinema, from the futuristic vision of 2001: A Space
Odyssey to the dark artistry of A Clockwork Orange, from the black
comedy of Dr. Strangelove to the psychological horror of The Shining,
from the stark realism of Paths of Glory to the dreamlike romance of Eyes
Wide Shut.
Now,
the astonishing career of this cinematic legend is remembered in perhaps the
most fitting way: in pictures. With an accompanying commentary by his widow,
Christiane, Stanley Kubrick - A Life in Pictures is a wide-ranging and
wonderful collection. Featuring a wealth of never-before-seen photographs, it
offers a fascinating glimpse of Kubrick behind the camera, from his directorial
beginnings in the early 1950s to his final film, Eyes Wide Shut,
completed just six days before his death in March 1999.
