Stanley Kubrick Visionary Filmmaker Collection [Blu-ray]

Description

The Stanley Kubrick: Visionary Filmmaker Collection is a blistering treat for anyone with a deep, longing love of the movies. It s a pack that brings together seven films from the late, great Stanley Kubrick, spread across eight discs. The quality of the films in question speak for themselves. There s the 40th anniversary edition of the groundbreaking A Clockwork Orange to kick things off, and other high profile classics include 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining, Eyes Wide Shut and Full Metal Jacket. Yet boxsets such as these also, by their nature, champion the films that haven t had such levels of appreciation. Thus, to get a glistening release of the likes of Lolita and Barry Lyndon is a massive bonus in itself, and goes a long way to justify the price of the set. Some films here get more generous extra features than others, which is a shame, and there s still quite possibly the definitive Stanley Kubrick boxset yet to be made. However, the Visionary Filmmaker Collection is still a terrific package, bringing together a clutch of important films from a genuine cinematic one-off. Quite, quite brilliant.
