A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, and Full Metal Jacket, is arguably one of the greatest American filmmakers.

The author provides behind-the-scenes details about writing, filming, financing, and reception of the director's entire output, paying close attention to the technical innovations and to his often contentious relationships with actors. This fascinating biography exposes the enigma that is Stanley Kubrick while placing him in context of film history.
