Amazon.co.uk Review
To date Stanley Kubrick remains one of cinema's most controversial film-maker. This box set highlights some of his greatest work, from the visionary i2001:A Space Odyssey/i, the violent and highly-debated iA Clockwork Orange/i, the chilling adaptation of iThe Shining/i, the acclaimed war drama iFull Metal Jacket/i, to his final piece, the controversial iEyes Wide Shut/i. And to top it off, the treat of this box set, the fascinating iStanley Kubrick: A Life In Pictures/i. brbr Stanley Kubrick was one of the most acclaimed and controversial filmmakers of his generation, but he was also an intensely private man who rarely gave interviews and produced most of his films under a shroud of secrecy, which tended to foster a great deal of rumour and speculation about his working methods. Jan Harlan, who worked as Kubrick's assistant and executive producer on several projects directed this feature-length documentary. Narrated by Tom Cruise, this offers a rare in-depth look into Kubrick's career as a filmmaker, structured around interviews with a number of actors, writers, technicians, composers, friends, and family who speak on the record about his relentless perfectionism, his creative vision, his life both on and off the set, his relationships with actors, his unrealised projects, and his importance and influence as an artist. brbrAmong those who share their thoughts in iStanley Kubrick: A Life In Pictures/i are actors Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Malcolm McDowell, Peter Ustinov, and Keir Dullea; writers Arthur C. Clarke and Michael Herr; special effects artist Douglas Trumbull; composers Wendy Carlos and Gyorgy Ligeti; filmmakers Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Paul Mazursky, and Sydney Pollack; and Kubrick's spouse Christiane Kubrick.brbr The choice of titles is undeniably spot on, and the extras really give a sense of who the man was, what his legacy is, and the privilege it was for the people who collaborated with him on his cinematic journey. -- iJennifer Kilchenmann/i

Not 6 discs, but 10 discs... March 4, 2008

23 out of 24 found this review helpful
I was initially a little confused that all the online stores I could find were listing the Region 1 version of this box set as 10 discs and the Region 2 version as only 6 discs. Never fear though, this is indeed the full 10 Disc set that includes the same brand new special editions that are also available individually.
br /
br /I am a little disappointed that the DVDs do not feature the new minimalist covers (as featured in the Region 1 version) which I think look great together as a set. Instead, we get the standard artwork for each with the new little icons featured only on the outer box itself.
br /
br /Still, when you have a host of excellent new extras, proper anamorphic widescreen transfers and some of the greatest films ever made - all for under £40, you can't really complain!!

Quite simply this box set contains some of most thought provoking and fascinating stories ever put on film. Sadly there is no one like Kubrick working in movies today. He was a visionary who took great risks and I doubt we will ever see the likes of him again as long as cinema is controlled by accountants instead of artists.
Great box set March 7, 2009

This box set includes five Stanley Kubrick films in their 2 disc special edition (except Full Metal Jacket which has only 1 disc) and a documentary about Kubrick.
br /The films are: 2001, A clockwork orange, The shining, Full metal jacket and Eyes wide shut. All movies are in 16:9 anamorphic format and have good quality.
br /Besides, all movies include English, Spanish and German language. It has the same discs as the Spanish and German editions.
