Stanley Kubrick Special Editions - DVD Review

Just in from Total Film:

Stanley Kubrick Special Editions DVD

Nearly a decade has drifted since his sudden death, but Stanley Kubrick’s astonishing oeuvre – it’s easy to forget he made just 13 films – continues to loom like a monolithic shadow. Megalomaniac giant, superhuman obsessive and hermit genius, he often seemed more myth than moviemaker. But Kubrick was a visionary culture-grinder of the modern era, leaving behind a collection of truly unique spectacles, all with big questions throbbing inside their unforgettable structures.

It’s been a long, typically Kubrickian wait, but finally a worthy DVD boxset gathers five of his greatest films in scrubbed-up Special Editions (also available separately).

Even Better Than the Copy

Kubrick is on the Mount Olympus as film god. So cold, yet so hot. Who the hell wrote the copy above? Talk about hyperbole. Old Stanley’s getting a good laugh somewhere.
