Kubrick's Monolith by Joe R Frinzi

Kubrick's Monolith by Joe R Frinzi

Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey is re-examined in a post-millennial context in this heavily researched, highly detailed study of the making of the landmark film. Its artistic and mythic pedigrees are of special interest. Kubrick and writer Arthur C. Clarke faced a number of challenges in producing an intelligent and innovative A-list movie in what--almost a decade before Star Wars--was considered a second-class genre, science fiction. The author explores the film's enigmatic storyline and offers a fresh perspective on several artistic elements such as production design, special effects and the use of music.

“With enthusiasm and efficiency, Frinzi covers how Arthur CClarke’s short story turned into what now is a classic”—Flick Attack; “Kubrick’s Monolith is the most profound and best written analysis of 2001: A Space Odyssey I’ve come across since the movie was released in 1968. It’s almost as if Joe Frinzi had resided for a time in director Stanley Kubrick’s brain. Through this book, I learned more about the film that I was in, than I ever knew from having been in it. Enjoy a fabulous read.”—Keir Dullea, actor 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Joe R. Frinzi wrote the monthly film column, “The Art of Cinema,” for the Lehigh Valley Arts paper, The Easton Irregular for 18 years, and was a contributing writer to the AOL Internet news service, Patch.com. He lives in Easton, Pennsylvania.
