Reconsidering Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey in a post-millennial context, this informative study examines the making of the landmark film with a focus on its artistic and mythic pedigree. Kubrick and writer Arthur C. Clarke faced a number of challenges in producing and intelligent an 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, offering a fresh perspective on production design, special effects and the use of music.

Reviews
"[Kubrick's Odyssey] 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 Duella, actor 2001: A Space Odyssey.
