“…Harlan, in the foreword to the catalogue for the official travelling exhibition, writes of Kubrick's "mystery" artistic talent and of his films reflecting a "carefully calculated perfection" (2014,7). And while the Kubrick family are keen to emphasize the suffering artist aspect of the Kubrick myth-which returns us to an aspect played up in Making the Shining, as Kubrick struggles against the antagonistic force that is Shelley Duvall-they are incredibly keen to downplay the perceived artist as tyrant image, denying Kubrick's excessive, problematic behavior, even though it is on display in that very same documentary (James and Grainger 1999;Fenwick 2017).…”

Through three archival case studies, this article explores problematic aspects of Stanley Kubrick's relations of production and the power underlying his role as a film producer by the 1960s and 1970s. The case studies explore Kubrick's practices in the casting of women, his attitude toward trade union regulation and labor relations, and his relationship with politicians in the UK in the 1970s and his attempts to lobby for more favorable tax conditions. It makes a critical intervention in Kubrick studies to argue that the use of the Stanley Kubrick Archive is vital in future research to reframe scholarly understanding of Kubrick. The filmmaker instigated a 'myth' about himself that continues to dominate, a self-promotional strategy that has obscured the relations of production on his films. Empirical evidence is required to reveal new perspectives on his attitudes and professional behavior. The article concludes that wider comparative research is required in Kubrick studies to ascertain the level of Kubrick's uniqueness or otherwise in these relations of production, or whether they are indicative of wider systemic behaviors across the American and British film industries in the twentieth century.

“…But with the opening of the Stanley Kubrick Archive (SKA), housed at the University of the Arts London, scholars within Kubrick Studies (and beyond) have begun to uncover new perspectives about its development, production, promotion, reception, and ongoing legacy. 1 Indeed, the SKA has presented scholars with a wealth of new material with which to reconsider and to understand anew one of Kubrick's most controversial films. Kubrick's involvement in all aspects of production is evident, with material ranging from the earliest phases of development to ideas for commercial exploitation.…”

Clockwork Orange (1962). In the 50 years since its release, the film has become a cultural phenomenon that has been adopted and adapted by musicians and artists from David Bowie to Blur and The Fall (to name but a few), with homages across film and television (memorably in The Simpsons' episode 'Treehouse of Horror XXV' (2014), in a segment titled 'A Clockwork Yellow'). It is also testament to the endurance of Kubrick's film that it remains also a focus of critical study. This publication hopes to reveal and illustrate some of the most recent historical research around the film, considering its cultural position, legacy, marketing strategies, production and more.
