236 pp. If Stanley Kubrick had made only 2001: A Space Odyssey or Dr. Strangelove, his cinematic legacy would have been assured. But from his first feature film, Fear and Desire... Kubrick created an accomplished body of work unique in its scope, diversity, and artistry, and by turns both lauded and controversial. Film critic Michel Ciment provides an insightful examination of eleven of Kubrick's films, including: Fear and Desire; Killer's Kiss; The Killing; Paths of Glory; Spartacus; Lolita; Dr Strangelove; 2001: A Space Odyssey; A Clockwork Orange; Barry Lyndon; and The Shining. Also included are interviews with Kubrick's colleagues, and numerous color and black-and-white photographs. Filmography and bibliography follows text.
