Book description
In 1969, Stanley Kubrick suppressed a book about his films because it dared to touch on their flaws. Kubrick, fresh from the Oscar-winning success of 2001: A Space Odyssey, promised to fight "tooth and nail" to prevent The Magic Eye: The Cinema of Stanley Kubrick going into print. More than five decades later, and a quarter-century after Kubrick's death, Neil Hornick's book is finally published.
