A review by thebobsphere
2001: A Space Odyssey by Peter Krämer

4.0

2001 is a love it or hate it film and i'm in the former category. I think it's a great piece of cinema, non stop visuals, great pacing (yes I like slow films) plus the subtexts. It's ludicrous to think that a little book that's under a 100 pages can go into the complexity of Kubrick's masterpiece but Kramer does manage to pack in a lot of information: the genesis of this film, Kubrick's relationship with Arthur C Clarke and assorted trivia. Did I learn anything new? - no but it is a fun read.
