Stanley Kubrick Directs

"This book tells how Stanley Kubrick makes films--how he translates his won vision of a story into cinematic terms, finding original ways to use camera angles and camera movement, lighting, composition, depth, and other techniques; and how he edits to achieve jarring juxtapositions, suspense and surprise, a heightened sense of time, and a perfectly crystallized total concept. The book also shows how his films relate to one another. The more than 350 photographs illustrate the visual flow of Paths of Glory, Dr. Strange love, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and A Clockwork Orange, as well as the methods used in Killer's Kiss, The Killing, and Lolita."--back cover.
