"Las imágenes inéditas de un genio del cine". Maxim, Madrid Spain

"La editorial TASCHEN vuelve a tirar la casa por la ventana con The Stanley Kubrick Archives, un lujoso volumen de 544 páginas a mayor gloria del legendario director de Lolita, La naranja mecánica o El resplandor. El libro no sólo es interesante por las entrevistas (una de ellas incluidas en un CD adjunto), los análisis filmográficos o los textos teóricos de y sobre Kubrick, sino también por la cantidad de material gráfico inédito, perteneciente al archivo personal del propio cineasta. Pósters, fotos inéditas, carátulas, documentos, guiones…Además, la primera edición incluye un fragmento de celuloide de 12 fotogramas pertenecientes a la copia en 70mm de 2001: una odisea del espacio." GQ, Madrid Spain

"Es el estudio más completo que se ha hecho sobre el director hasta hoy. Un libro sorprendente que se vuelve indispensable para los cinéfilos." Glamour, Madrid Spain

"...anyone with a passion for modern cinema are in for a treat with the publication of The Kubrick Archives, an extravagant coffee-table book that mixes photographs, essays, facsimiles of the master's notebooks and story boards, an several previously hard to find interviews. Published by TASCHEN, who excel at this sort of sumptuous presentation." The Observer, London United Kingdom

"Thankfully, the book doesn't strip his films of all their mystery: it's more like a classy striptease, showing you just enough to whet your appetite. ( ) The generous proportions of the Stanley Kubrick Archives comes at a high price - Euro 150-but the book is a worthy testament to Kubrick's own largesse ( )....a document of the authority and respect Kubrick's genius attracted, from both the film industry and audiences and of the era of film-making that died with him." Irish Times, Dublin Ireland

"Given this book has the approximate size, weight and cost of a small tombstone, you'd expect it to be nothing less than the ultimate memorial to one of the twentieth century's great directors. And, even though it's large format means that you can only read it while sitting at a proportionately large table, it doesn't disappoint. Alison Castle ( ) has put together perhaps the most intimate portrait yet of a famously private man." Modern Painters, London United Kingdom

"Archives is a physical marvel, just like Kubrick`s movies. If you toss The Stanley Kubrick Archives, published this month by Taschen, onto the scales weighing directorial greatness, there`s no doubt that Kubrick would emerge as the best director of all time. This latest literary wet-kiss to Kubrick is a very heavy book. It is also beautifully and copiously illustrated, full of hundreds of still images from his films, and packed with essays, interviews with the director, notes for unmade films and a couple of posthumous tributes. Smartly edited by Alison Castle, this coffee-table tome with an intellect dissects Kubrick`s output in an exhaustive, film-by-film analysis. The first half is given over to copious still images from each of his movies. In the case of many directors, maybe most, this might be a waste of time. But in the case of Kubrick, who made only 12 movies, it makes sense, because his camera sense was so strong-and, in many cases, so static-that a still can bring a whole scene to life." Newsweek, New York United States

An extraordinary volume containing a wealth of information about the work of Stanley Kubrick. This book is so comprehensive that it feels like a gift. The participation of Jan Harlan, Christiane Kubrick and the Kubrick Estate has allowed the editor to present the world with the best look into the work of Stanley Kubrick yet, and I doubt that it can ever be topped. I wish I could thank Jan, Christiane, and Alison personally as I will treasure this book for the rest of my life and career. Jamieson McGonigle United States

"Véritable mine d`or, cet ouvrage est beau et nécessaire. On y lira des articles aussi surprenants qu`érudits, que l`on soit cinéphile ou lecteur (...) Textes et photos, carnets de tournage et articles de fond : une réussite totale." Topo, Paris France
