THE COMPLETE KUBRICK Unboxing – The Criterion Collection
The time has come! I finally got my hands on “The Complete Kubrick” from The Criterion Collection. This is massively hard to find, and I was able to pick one up at The Mall of America Barnes & Noble as part of their 50% Criterion sale. HUGE thanks to Manager Elizabeth and Bookseller Sarah for their awesome customer service.
I dive into the new box set from The Criterion Collection, which boasts 30 discs covering all thirteen feature films and three shorts from master director Stanley Kubrick.
This is a 30-Disc set, 4K + Blu-Ray collection. Here are the special features, per their website:
- 4K restorations of Kubrick’s thirteen features and three shorts, with their original soundtracks alongside the 5.1 mixes, restored and remastered
- Over twenty-five hours of interviews, documentaries, and behind-the-scenes materials
- Kubrick’s international version of The Shining
- A new 4K restoration of Vivian Kubrick’s behind-the-scenes documentary Making “The Shining”
- Newly recorded commentary tracks featuring filmmaker Lee Unkrich (editor of the book Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining”) and author Michael Benson (Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke, and the Making of a Masterpiece)
- Rare films from Graphic Films and computer-animation pioneer John Whitney that inspired the special effects in 2001: A Space Odyssey
- Unseen Lolita screen tests with actors James Mason and Sue Lyon and rare Full Metal Jacket behind-the-scenes footage
- A newly recorded conversation with novelist Jonathan Lethem and film historian Kevin Wynter on Kubrick and authorship
- An essay by author and critic Nathaniel Rich
- 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
- And much more . . .
