Kubrick
The incomparable career of a cinematic genius
One of the most esteemed filmmakers of all time, Stanley Kubrick (1928–1999) was also one of the most enigmatic. He broke into the film scene at the age of 26 with the ambitious, independently produced Killer's Kiss and within a few years was working with the likes of Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, and Peter Sellers on such seminal films as Lolita and Spartacus. Having gained the support of the actors, producers, and movie studios with his early efforts, Kubrick garnered the creative control he needed to produce uncompromising masterpieces such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, and Barry Lyndon. Polishing off 1999's Eyes Wide Shut just before his untimely death, Kubrick left behind a puzzling and positively brilliant body of work.

"Filmbücher, die nicht nur den Kopf, sondern auch das Auge befriedigen, sind eher rar gesät. Eine Ausnahme bildet da eine prächtig ausgestattete Reihe mit Monographien zu namhaften Regisseuren, die in Szenenbildern aus Filmen und Standfotos von Dreharbeiten geradezu schwelgt ... Das ist gut angelegtes Geld, wenn man sich einen Überblick über das Filmschaffen von Regielegenden wie Michelangelo Antonioni, Stanley Kubrick oder Billy Wilder verschaffen möchte. Leben und Karriere der Filmemacher werden in einem umfassenden Überblick gewürdigt, und auch das Bildmaterial, das teilweise aus den Archiven der Regisseure selbst stammt, ist einzigartig."
