A Clockwork Orange' plus three additional documentaries: Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures, and O' Lucky Malcolm! Also included will be a new 78-page hardcover photo book using never-before-seen archival photos, production materials and more.Lolita (1962)A divorced British professor becomes infatutuated with a flirtatious 14-year-old girl after moving to a small-town America.Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)A psychotic Air Force General unleashes an ingenious and irrevocable scheme to send bombers to attach Russia whilst the President and Soviet premier frantically try to save the world.2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)Kubrick's dazzling Academy Award-winning achievement (Special Visual Effects) is an allegorical puzzle on the evolution of man and a compelling drama of man vs. machine.A Clockwork Orange (1971)In future Britain, the singing, tap-dancing, derby-topped hooligan Alex has a "good time" - at the tragic expense of others. His journey from amoral punk to brainwashed proper citizen and back again forms the dynamic arc of Kubrick's future-shock vision of Anthony Burgess' novel.Barry Lyndon (1975)Redmond Barry is a young, roguish Irishman who dupes, duels and seduces his way up the social ladder, entering into a lustful but loveless marriage to a wealthy countess named Lady Lyndon and assuming wealth and power beyond his wildest dreams.The Shining (1980) The Shining is Kubrick's epic tale of a man who journeys to the elegant, isolated Overlook Hotel as an off-season caretaker with his wife and son, and ultimately descends into murderous delusions.Full Metal Jacket (1987)A superb ensemble falls in for Kubrick's brilliant saga about the Vietnam War and the dehumanizing process that turns people into trained killers.Eyes Wide Shut (1999)Tom Cruise plays a doctor who plunges into an erotic foray that threatens his marriage - and may ensnare him in a murder mystery - after his wife's (Nicole Kidman) admission of sexual longings in Kubrick's daring and controversial last film.

It's Kubrick Man!
Apart from the shorter European edit of The Shining and EU labeled discs, this set is the same as the one sold in the USA. As other reviewers have noted we don't get the full negative image (academy ratio) for some movies. These have been cropped to 16:9 for modern day wide screen TVs and as I was also a cinema projectionist in a past life, they would've been screened the same way. It's what most cinemas did after the adoption of widescreen/CinemaScope at theatres. With that caveat out of the way this Blu-ray box set is great value if you don't already own any of the films in that format. As an added bonus there are two extras discs devoted to special features about Stanley. I am most pleased with my purchase but really would've liked the long version of The Shining. Guess I'll be buying that one as a stand alone from America.

Ce coffret est tout simplement génial : il fournit dans un seul objet l'ensemble des films de Kubrick (à l'exception notable de Fear and Desire, mis au piloris par son auteur lui-même : on le trouve néanmoins facilement) ainsi qu'un très beau livre (en anglais) composé de très nombreuses images (plans) des 12 oeuvres et d'annexes rares (interviews du réalisateur, informations précises sur le contexte d'écriture et de réalisation, etc.). On souhaiterait tellement que de tels coffrets existent pour d'autres génies du 7e art : Ozu, Mizoguchi, Kazan, Tarantino, Truffaut... Vraiment, un produit sur lequel se précipiter !

Rispetto alla nota edizione "Visionary Filmmaker Collection" si segnala la mancanza di "Spartacus". Dal canto suo, l'attuale "Masterpiece Collection" contiene un blu-ray di bonus in più, che include il documentario inedito "Kubrick Remembered" e anche "Once upon a time ... A Clockwork Orange" e "Stanley Kubrick in focus". Dimensioni del box: (30 x 20,2 x 5) cm, materiale cartonato rigido con apertura/chiusura magnetica sul lato corto. La confezione interna contiene: una scheda dal titolo "Searching for Stanley Kubrick", in lingua inglese, in pratica una sintesi del "Making the Kubrick Remembered Documentary"; una splendida riproduzione a colori su cartoncino ruvido (28 x 19) cm di un ritratto di Kubrick del 1972, dal titolo "Stanley", dipinto dalla moglie Christianne; un libro fotografico da collezione di 78 pagine (28 x 19) cm, con immagini d'archivio e altro materiale inedito; un cofanetto cartonato (19 x 14 x 3) cm contenente n. 10 dischi blu-ray (ovvero 8 film e 2 dischi di bonus; la "Visionary Filmmaker Collection" contiene 9 film - perché include Spartacus - e 1 disco di bonus). Le serigrafie dei dischi blu-ray sono identiche a quelle dell'edizione "Visionary" ( e identici pure i master HD, per qualità d'immagine). In conclusione: l'attuale edizione Masterpiece si propone con una veste splendida ed estremamente curata, rispetto a quella - più piccola e commerciale - dell' edizione Visionary. Per un appassionato, dunque, un ghiotto oggetto da collezione; per chi già possiede l'edizione "Visionary" è , in buona parte, una replica.

Comes with a small painting of the genius and a little book with 10 discs and 8 films. Beside a small tear on the right side of box I abousltey love this thing. I only saw 2001: A Space Odyssey before and decided to buy a bunch of his movies and it was tottally worth it!. If you love films at all you should buy this boxset. All of the movies in here are fantastic. This is a must have if you enjoy at least 2 movies from Stanley Kubrick.
