A Nice Little Referance For the Kubrick Fan

Yes, Kagan does make some foolish mistakes in summing up Kubrick's films. However, this is a nice book for anyone interested in the late Stanley Kubrick, a film genius whose works ranged from sexual thrillers and science fiction epics to period dramas and war films. It contains some nice photos, as well as just enough information about each film. I bought it after seeing only three of Kubrick's films and it compelled me to see five more.
