The Complete Kubrick
“A titan of cinema whose influence extends across visual art, philosophy, politics, technology, fashion, and beyond, Stanley Kubrick created an unprecedented string of masterpieces, from Paths of Glory to Dr. Strangelove to 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, and Eyes Wide Shut. Bending disparate genres to his will, he imbued his creations with a cuttingly ironic worldview and an iconographic, mesmerizingly precise visual style, probing the anxieties, enigmas, and horrors of the twentieth century with a coolly devastating eye. Tracing his evolution from independent maverick to Hollywood rebel to visionary transnational auteur whose every film from the mid-1960s on became a manifesto of a radically new sensibility, The Complete Kubrick brings together the entirety of a body of work that opened popular cinema up to new realms of moral profundity and metaphysical mystery.
Collected here for the first time are Kubrick’s thirteen features and three shorts, all restored in 4K, with their original soundtracks alongside the 5.1 mixes, restored and remastered; over twenty-five hours of interviews, documentaries, and behind-the-scenes materials; and deluxe packaging illustrated with rare photographs, artwork, and documents annotated by Kubrick himself, all housed in a singular box inspired by the director’s legendary archive.”

“Dr. Strangelove” is probably my favorite Kubrick, although “Barry Lyndon” is his most beautiful to look at. It took me decades to appreciate “2001”, but I like it now. This behemoth collection looks to be for completists only.
Deb, I have a couple of friends who are buying this mammoth set. They love Kubrick’s movies and this Criterion Collection sounds just awesome!
EYES WIDE SHUT – not a masterpiece.
I’m with Deb on Dr. STRANGELOVE. I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately.
“Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.”
Possibly apocryphal, but apparently Pickins—playing a good ol’ Texas boy—said, “A fella could have a pretty good weekend in Dallas with all that,” but between the time they filmed the movie and the time it was released, JFK was shot in Dallas, so they dubbed Pickins saying “Vegas” instead. I think if you watch (and listen) to that line, it does appear to be dubbed, but perhaps that’s just confirmation bias on my part.
Deb, I have always been a huge Slim Pickens fan.
Apparently, when he showed up for filming they were impressed that he was in costume and doing the voice, until someone told them that he always dressed like that – cowboy hat, fringed jacket, cowboy boots. And the accent was all his.
Another great Pickens line: “Somebody’s got to go back and get a shit-load of dimes “
Jeff, I remember the scorn heaped on Kubrick for EYES WIDE SHUT. Like Hitchcock, Kubrick was unique.
Way out of my price range or interest level
Maggie, I may attempt to get my local public Library to buy this set.
I like 2001, CLOCKWORK, STEANGELOVE, THE KILLING, but never understood the Kubrick cult. You couldn’t pay me to watch EYES WIDE SHUT with the insufferable Cruise.
Fred, some directors develop a cult following. Obviously the Criterion Collection believes there are enough Kubrick cultists to make this massive project worthwhile.
Fred is right, Cruise is insufferable! That’s why I call him The Smirking Dwarf! As for the movies, some are very well done, others less so. I remember when 2001 came out I was just out of the Army and trying to become a California hippy! Everybody and his brother saw the movie but somehow, I didn’t! About 50 years later I tried to see it, and the first sequence bored me so badly I switched it off! I waited a long time to be badly disappointed! Dr. Strangelove, Paths of Glory, and A Clockwork Orange were good one, IMHO!
Bob, maybe the next time you win at the Casino, you can buy the Complete Kubrick! And have money left over!
No, thanks! I use my winnings to finance my next trip to the casino!
Bob, your Strategy is to “reinvest” after you win at the Casino…
