📘 2001 by Michael Benson

**Sinopse** Em 1964, Stanley Kubrick e Arthur C. Clarke se juntaram para, nas palavras do diretor, “fazer o primeiro filme de ficção científica que não seja considerado lixo”. Quatro anos depois, 2001: Uma odisseia no espaço seria lançado. Michael Benson reconta a extraordinária história da criação do filme, de sua gênese ao lançamento em 1968. O autor entrevistou Clarke, bem como Christiane, viúva de Kubrick, e Doug Trumbull, o criador dos efeitos-especiais do filme, conseguindo captar não apenas a epopeia cinematográfica mas também a complexidade da relação de Kubrick e Clarke. O resultado é um misto de making of, ensaio e análise, um retrato profundo de um dos mais formidáveis filmes já produzidos.
