“…Kubrick’s vision and idiosyncratic methods were too much for some of his crew (and the critics) to bear, yet the near-miraculous achievement has never been surpassed in its genre, and this book is a monument, both physically and in substance, to that end.”
“…more artefact than book.”
“It really is an achingly handsome collection of work, exquisitely designed, bound and printed… it’s a timely reminder of how captivating a piece of print can be.”
“Cinephiles and Kubrick fans alike are sure to have a field day.”
“Moon children, polka-dot aliens, suckling ape suits, and many more intergalactic wrong turns are chronicled in a new behind-the-scenes book… in what TASCHEN brags is ‘the most exhaustive publication ever devoted’ to the film. At four volumes and 1,386 pages, The Making of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey is indeed exhaustive… it is larded with previously unseen photos, documents, and production art taken from Kubrick’s archives… Mad is actually a good adjective here. So is magnificent.”
“The film’s closing sequence became a cultural ‘what's it all mean’ touchstone of the psychedelic 60s. But for your $ 750 price tag, the book published by TASCHEN doesn't solve that riddle either. It, like the movie, endures.”
“A crucial piece of film history… and a true pinnacle reference material and honorary text on one of the most important films in cinema history.”
“…the best book about 2OO1 that could have been written… an exclusive, detailed and ambitious look at everything to do with 2OO1.”
