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).
