The book is an immaculately researched account of the film's
creation...
*Christopher Schobert, The Film Stage*
With Eyes Wide Shut: Stanley Kubrick and the Making of His Final
Film, we finally have the great book this film deserves ... Every
chapter in this book is valuable to the Kubrick scholar or the
casual cinephile; thoughtful yet readable throughout, it hits that
golden spot of being a scholarly page-turner.
*Whitlock & Pope*
I'm not sure if it will spur Eyes Wide Shut haters to reevaluate
the film, but Eyes Wide Shut: Stanley Kubrick and the Making of His
Final Film will give them some fresh insight into the seemingly
impenetrable mind of Stanley Kubrick.
*Mike Segretto, Psychobabble*
Two leading Kubrick scholars have joined forces for this hugely
impressive study of the filmmakers final masterpiece. Examining the
film from every conceivable angle, they offer unique insights into
its form and themes - and also, more broadly, into Kubricks working
methods, his personality and his place in 20th century culture.
*Peter Krämer, author of BFI Film Classics on Dr. Strangelove and
2001: A Space Odyssey, and co-editor of Stanley Kubrick: New
Perspectives*
Through obsessive research and details within details worthy of the
man they chronicle in Eyes Wide Shut: Stanley Kubrick and the
Making of his Final Film, film scholars Robert P. Kolker and Nathan
Abrams prove decidedly that the last movie of a great film director
not only sums up their career but defines and illuminates it with
clarity. This is a must-read for admirers of Stanley Kubrick and
his work and the cinema itself.
*Vincent LoBrutto, author of Stanley Kubrick: A Biography*
As recounted in a new book by Robert Kolker and Nathan Abrams (an
essential resource for anyone interested in the film's development
and production), Eyes Wide Shut was a project that Kubrick had been
seriously contemplating for decades.
*MidCenturyCinema*
Loved it. I thought I knew everything about Eyes Wide Shut but
discovered much more. I think it's the most significant book on a
single film since Stephen Bach's Final Cut.
*Matt Thorne, Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing, Brunel
University London*
