The enigmatic and elusive filmmaker Stanley Kubrick has not been treated to a full-length biography in over 20 years. Filling that gap, this book is based on access to the latest research, especially into his archive at the University of the Arts, London, and other papers, as well as new interviews with family members and those who worked with him. It offers comprehensive and in-depth coverage of Kubrick's personal, private, public, and working life. We discuss not only the making of his films, but also about those he wanted but failed to make like Burning Secret, Napoleon, Aryan Papers, and A.I. We discover what he was doing when he was not making films. This biography will puncture a few myths about this allegedly reclusive filmmaker, who created some of the most important works of art of the 20th century.
