2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) – by James Verniere
21/04/2020
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) remains Kubrick’s crowning, confounding achievement. Homeric sci-fi film, conceptual artwork, and dopeheads’ intergalactic joyride, 2001 pushed the envelope of film at a time when Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music ruled the box office.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN: THE CREATION OF STANLEY KUBRICK‘S 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
21/07/2019
Stanley Kubrick was determined the design for his ‘definitive attempt’ at the science-fiction film should represent a decisive break with Hollywood norms — and who better to enlist to his cause than a pair of spacecraft consultants poached from the very heart of NASA itself?

2001 no less than Dr. Strangelove is an apocalyptic vision: it i is an alternate future but no less pessimistic.
