Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures Reviews

  • Steven Godin

    For a man who was a very private individual during his lifetime, this book owes a lot of gratitude to his widow Christiane for it's publication, the title of "A life in pictures" says it all really, this is exactly that. Feels like going through a personal photo album, capturing Kubrick in his day job, that being making movie masterpieces. 1953-1999 only thirteen films made, quite astonishing!, but everyone of them he was completely dedicated to, methodically and painstaking, any time scale on completion meant nothing to him until his vision of perfection was realised, taking years if need be, putting many actors through vigorous multi takes (some scenes from "The Shining" over 100!). Going by this collection of photos it was all in his eyes, eyes of total control over his art form, rarely cracking a smile. The greatest director of all time? for me there is no doubt. It still saddens me he never got to make "Napoleon", which was his one big dream.

    La prima biografia ufficiale di Kubrick, curata dalla moglie Christiane, con una introduzione di Steven Spielberg. Il libro porta avanti la strategia di ridefinizione dell'immagine pubblica di Kubrick, per "correggere l'idea sbagliata che Stanley fosse una sorta di misantropo eremita." Christiane, scrivendo brevi didascalie a 233 foto selezionate, racconta così la vita del marito, tra l'amore per i suoi animali domestici, gli scacchi e il suo guardaroba perennemente in disordine. Le immagini presenti comprendono anche alcuni degli scatti di Kubrick per la rivista LOOK, le riproduzioni di dipinti di Christiane e tre disegni dallo storyboard di Chris Baker per A.I. Intelligenza Artificiale.
