The most comprehensive biography of the creator of 2001: A Space Odessey, The Shining, and A Clockwork Orange.
‘Nobody could make a film like Stanley Kubrick.’ Steven Spielberg
Kubrick’s interest in observing human folly produced some of the most important works of art of the twentieth century, including 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove, Barry Lyndon and The Shining.
Based on Kubrick’s archive, as well as new interviews with family members and those who worked with him, Kubrick: An Odyssey offers comprehensive, in-depth coverage of Kubrick’s personal, public and working life.
This long-awaited, new biography dispels the myths surrounding the allegedly reclusive director, who spent his career determined to transcend traditional film-making.
