A three-part video essay by American filmmaker and video essayist Tyler Kundsen goes behind the story of Stanley Kubrick’s seminal 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Knudsen, who goes by the name Cinema Tyler, breaks down the iconic science fiction movie by focusing on three key sequences: the dawn of man (which Kubrick directed over the phone because his fear of flying prevented him from going to the location), Floyd and the lunar surface. Here are the three videos, each of them packed with archival footage and photographs, interviews, and Knudsen’s commentary. “Meticulous care and thought was put into each frame of this movie,” Knudsen says. We are discussing Stanley Kubrick, after all.
