Description
Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is widely regarded as one of the best films ever made. It has been celebrated for its beauty and mystery, its realistic depiction of space travel and dazzling display of visual effects. The breathtaking scope of its story reaches across millions of years, and it offers thought-provoking depth on evolution, technology, and humanity's encounters with the unknown. 2001 has been described as the most expensive avant-garde movie ever made, as well as a psychedelic trip, a unique expression of the spirit of the 1960s, and a timeless masterpiece.
Peter Krämer's insightful study explores 2001's complex origins, the unique shape it took, and the extraordinary impact it made on contemporary audiences. Drawing on new research in the Stanley Kubrick Archive, Krämer challenges many of the widely-held assumptions about the film. This edition includes a new afterword by the author.
