Stanley Kubrick:

a biography
Front Cover
5 Reviews
Da Capo Press, May 6, 1999 - Performing Arts - 608 pages
Stanley Kubrick, director of the acclaimed filmsPath of Glory, Spartacus, Lolita, Dr. Strangelove, 2001: Space Odyssey. A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, and Full Metal Jacket, is arguably one of the greatest American filmmakers. Yet, despite being hailed as “a giant” by Orson Welles, little is known about the reclusive director. Stanley Kubrick—the first full-length study of his life—is based on assiduous archival research as well as new interviews with friends, family, and colleagues.Film scholar Vincent LoBRutto provides a comprehensive portrait of the director, from his high school days, in the Bronx and his stint as a photographer for Look magazine, through the creation of his wide-ranging movies, including the long-awaited Eyes Wide Shut. The author provides behind-the-scenes details about writing, filming, financing, and reception of the director’s entire output, paying close attention to the technical innovations and to his often contentious relationships with actors. This fascinating biography exposes the enigma that is Stanley Kubrick while placing him in context of film history.

Review: Stanley Kubrick: A Biography

User Review  - Bryn Young-roberts - Goodreads

An interesting read but is seriously lacking in detail and contains many mistakes. Could have been better researched. Also at times it becomes more of a biography of people Kubrick knew than it is about Kubrick. Still, its good to read about the man's life in such a linear fashion. Read full review

Review: Stanley Kubrick: A Biography

User Review  - John - Goodreads

Solid biography of the reclusive and brilliant director, ending in the mid-90s before "Eyes Wide Shut". Along with the documentary "Stanley Kubrick: A Life In Pictures", this is probably as much as we'll ever find out about him. Read full review
