"The Stanley Kubrick Archives showed up one morning in our offices, where my editor and I circled it like curious apes." - Time Out, New York"
Kurzbeschreibung
This is the first book to explore Stanley Kubrick's archives and the most comprehensive study of the filmmaker to date. In 1968, when Stanley Kubrick was asked to comment on the metaphysical significance of "2001: A Space Odyssey", he replied: 'It's not a message I ever intended to convey in words. 2001 is a nonverbal experience...I tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content'. The philosophy behind Part 1 of "The Stanley Kubrick Archives" borrows from this line of thinking: from the opening sequence of "Killer's Kiss" to the final frames of "Eyes Wide Shut", Kubrick's complete films are presented chronologically and wordlessly via frame enlargements. This is a completely nonverbal experience. The second part of the book brings to life the creative process of Kubrick's filmmaking by presenting a remarkable collection of mostly unseen material from his archives, including photographs, props, posters, artwork, set designs, sketches, correspondence, documents, screenplays, drafts, notes, and shooting schedules. Accompanying the visual material are essays by noted Kubrick scholars, articles written by and about Kubrick, and a selection of Kubrick's best interviews.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Zu Beginn eine Warnung: Um dieses Buch lesen zu können, braucht man auf jeden Fall einen Tisch! Taschen liefert uns mit Stanley Kubrick Archives einen riesigen, mehrere Kilo schweren Wälzer*, der meiner Meinung nach jeden Cent wert ist.
Die ersten knapp 260 Seiten sind Standbilder aus jedem Film Kubricks. Darüber, ob diese unbedingt notwendig sind, lässt sich streiten. Sie bieten einem jedenfalls die Möglichkeit, sich während der Lektüre die Bilder aus den Filmen vor Augen zu halten.
Der Kern dieses Buches ist aber der zweite Teil, indem Schritt für Schritt jeder Film behandelt wird. Die Kapitel beginnen jeweils mit einem Essay eines Kubrick Spezialisten:
Gene D. Phillips: Early Work bis Dr. Strangelove
Carolyn Geduld: 2001: A Space Odyssey
Michel Ciment: A Clockwork Orange
Rodney Hill: Barry Lyndon bis Eyes Wide Shut
Danach findet man jeweils kurze Texte von Kubrick selbst, Interviews zu seinen Filmen oder auch technische Artikel aus American Cinematographer. Viele dieser Texte sind auch in anderen Publikationen zu finden (wie z.B. Kubrick von Michel Ciment oder Stanley Kubrick: Interviews von Gene D. Phillips). Auch die einführenden Informationen in den Essays sind größtenteils ebenfalls anderswo zu finden, wie etwa in der Biographie von Vincent LoBrutto oder von John Baxter (wobei ich Baxters Biographie nur engeschränkt empfehlen kann, da sie sehr oft falsche Mythen weiter verbreitet und sehr reißerisch geschrieben ist).
Somit ist dieses Buch vielleicht kein besonderes Neuland für wirkliche Kubrick Kenner. Der kreative Prozess Kubricks wurde aber noch nie so lebendig und nachvollziehbar wie hier dargestellt. The Stanley Kubrick Archives strahlt nämlich in erster Linie durch die unzähligen Illustrationen. Erst nach Kubricks Tod wurde seine große Sammlung zugänglich. Man erhält einen Blick auf seine frühen Fotografien(die ich hier sogar besser ausgewählt finde als in Rainer Crones Drama & Shadows), Drehbuchseiten inklusive Notizen, und Produktionsfotos (so kann man etwa die berühmt berüchtigten Nummern sehen, die Kubrick den Leichen am Schlachtfeld von Spartacus zugewiesen hat um ihnen genaue Instruktionen geben zu können).
Vor allem diese kleinen Details haben dieses Buch so faszinierend für mich gemacht. Welche Kameras hat Kubrick verwendet? Wie wählte er die Musik zu seinen Filmen? Man findet etwa eine Liste möglicher Musik für Barry Lyndon, mit Ennio Morricone und Nino Rota. Welche Bücher hat er noch gelesen? The Destruction of the European Jews war ja klar, aber wer kennt schon Eric Brighteyes? Das alles schafft einen unglaublichen Einblick in die Gedankenwelt und Arbeitsweise Kubricks und man kann gar nicht genug davon bekommen.
Für wahre Liebhaber der Filme Kubricks eine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung! Wer viel Theorie erhofft, wird aber enttäuscht werden. Hier geht es in erster Linie um den Menschen Kubrick, sein Leben und seine Arbeit.
* Aufgeschlagen ist dieses Buch ca. 65 x 25 cm groß und wiegt über 3 kg!

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Es gibt jede Menge Szenen in Kubricks Filmen aus denen ich gerne einzelne Bilder auf Papier anschauen würde. Dieses Buch hat jede Menge Bilder aus seinen Filmen aber die Auswahl ist völlig unmotiviert, langweilig und uninteressant. Die Hälfte der Bilder und dafür bessere Motivauswahl hätte das Buch zu einem Highlight gemacht. Außerdem sind die Bilder zu dunkel, viele Details sind einfach nicht sichtbar. Der Textteil ist leider auch nicht so interessant. Kubrick kauft ein Haus, Kubrick bekommt ein Kind, Kubrick beauftragt jemand um ein Drehbuch zu verfassen, usw. (gähn) Auch geht das Buch nicht in die Tiefe. Zum Beispiel wird geschreiben, daß sich Kubrick und Kirk Douglas oft bei den Dreharbeiten zu Spartakus stritten aber man erfährt nicht weshalb. Keine Hinweise auf was für Theorien seine Bildästhetik beruht. Der Kauf dieses Buches war eine Reisenenttäuschung für so einen großen Kubrickfan wie mich.

Yes, it's incredible.
12. Mai 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Although the "Archives" are not as thorough as someone totally obsessed with Kubrick might like, this is still much more than a vanity project filled with pretty pictures.
The first portion of the book, which consists of carefully chosen stills from the various films, highlights the fact that Kubrick had impeccable photographic taste and crafted a look for his films that matured in a very unique, somewhat strange way. Any fan knows this already, but being able to really dissect the shots and the lighting is more worthwhile than it might appear at first. I would say with almost any other director this would be overkill.
The interviews throughout are fascinating -- and although one might be able to find them elsewhere, here you can look at them in the context of the films themselves, and there are just simply so many of them. So, instead of fishing for the 2001 Playboy interview it's right here. Kubrick has some brilliant things to say about the nature of life in the universe, evolution, etc. The Clockwork Orange interview is also very revealing, as the great director claims absolutely no responsibility for the violent content of the film, among other things. Reading Pauline Kael's review as counterpoint to this (not in the book) should prove worthwhile...
The analysis of the films themselves is also suprisingly good, although in no way rigorous academically. One example: I find Barry Lyndon a work so rich in nuance, so unique in the history of filmaking, that the straightforward analysis of its story presented here doesn't enlighten the material much. For instance, if Kubrick himself did in fact conceive of the last duel between Barry and Bullingdon, it would be very interesting to delve more into how he took elements of Thackeray's novel and deepened them thematically. There seems to be a lot of discussion to be had about just what Kubrick was saying within the context of the material. Alas, nothing of that sort here.
Just the same, there certainly is plenty, beyond just eye candy, to satisfy the Kubrick devotee. Reading the book is like completely immersing oneself in his world, surrounded by his thoughts and visual stimuli. When I first saw a mock-up of this book in Beverly Hills, I thought it might be overblown and obnoxious. I am happy to say it is not. If you have the money, I'd invest in a copy.

WARNING: May Cause Disharmony Amongst Heirs
2. Juli 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Perhaps you are similar to me and you occasionally justify a purchase by saying to yourself "The kids will enjoy this after I'm gone someday." This rationale helps me feel a little less guilty when I indulge in an expensive purchase. Well, as I review this book I realize a new problem: 40 years from now, as my body lay cooling, my two lovely daughters will probably be engaged in a dispute as to who gets the AWESOME Kubrick book!
I am a big fan of Taschen books and I'm also a big Kubrick fan. This book is the ultimate dosage of both. I have well over a hundred Taschen titles and this is definitely one of my favorite three ("Cabinent of Curiosities" and "Complete Costume History" being the other two. All of these are the large-size super-high quality classics that are likely to become sought-after collector's volumes).
You've already had this Kubrick book described for you, but I wanted emphasize three points: First, the front page edges are "tabbed" in this book, making access to particular areas (eg, particular films) very convenient. This is really a sophisticated fluorish which makes the book that much more stunning. Second, the snippet of "2001" is nothing less than magical. As I read about it here I thought it sounded a little gimmicky: but when you see a foot-long section of one of the most important films ever made, it is really captivating. The section I received has bright geometric colors which I'm delighted by, but regardless of what you get, you're getting a piece of "2001"!!!! I get the same reverential feeling looking at it as I did when gawking at the original Declaration of Independence! Third, the quality of manufacture here is first-rate. I have been critical of Taschen in recent years because they have so many great books with cheesey/flimsy covers and bindings which don't hold up. I think this has been a MAJOR strategic error at the corporate level for them; they should raise their prices a little and create books which will last 200 years. Well, as to this Kubrick book you don't have to worry about that: this cover is composed of two different types of cloth and it appears very solid and is GORGEOUS. I collect books new and old, and please believe me, you'll be psyched when you see this behemoth! (Due to size and weight you'll still want to hold it carefully so binding doesn't get unduly torqued.)
Anyway, it is so great to roll the dice on a book and to win big. If you're a Kubrick fan I encourage you to act quickly and to nail one of these.

The most unique book on Kubrick!
10. Mai 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is obviously the most unique and fascinating book ever made on Stanley Kubrick. Certainly the most complete as well. It's also the biggest in every sense of the word. I cannot believe just how huge and heavy this thing is. It is massive! But most importanly, it is filled with interviews and insightful articles on all Kubrick films (in the second part of the book). Even the ones he didn't complete (A.I., Napoleon, Aryan Papers). Especially great, are the many never before seen photographs taken during productions of these amazing films. This is my favorite thing in this book.
The filmstrip from Kubrick's own 70-millimeter print of 2001 is of course a very special addition. As is the included interview on cd, from 1966.
Stanley Kubrick was in my opinion the greatest filmmaker in history. I have many books on the man, but this is by far the most extraordinary. A very unique piece of work indeed and the most beautiful collector item on Kubrick ever made. I think every fan will not want to miss it.
Thanks to Alison Castle, Jan Harlan and Christianne Kubrick for this!
