Part 1 of 5 · freeIntroduction
2001: A Space Odyssey, released in 1968, is still the great monument of science fiction on screen. Its director, Stanley Kubrick, refused to make a talkative action movie. He offered an experience instead: images, music, silence. From prehistory to deep space, he asked where humans fit in the universe.
More than fifty years later, the film has barely aged. Why? Because it bets on visual precision rather than on passing fashions.
