Review of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) by Mark S — 11 Jul 2017
Saying that's something is the "best" work of Kubrick may be narrow-minded. His complete collection of work is a Stonehenge of filmmakng - something most will never completely comprehend.
2001 may have been a movie that worked superficially as a prophecy of technology to come, but Kubrick made sure the sci-fi was the least mind-blowing thing about it. The real discovery is in the film's meditative, if psychedelic, narrative.
A haunting experience, more so than a coherent cinematic plot, the film speaks to me as a reminder of the infinitesimal perspective of man when attempting to behold the universe.
