I read this book having never seen the movie. It captivated me even if it is in no case an action novel. The descriptions and reflections abound phylosophiques but nothing happens. We are light years away from Star Wars. Although I was not in any case interested to see the movie when buying, I tried to see him as soon as possible and I was delighted, proof of the interest created by this book. I would have liked the new "La Sentinelle" associated libvre to understand the basis that pushed Kubrick make his film.
A must for anyone who wants to understand something Stanley Kubrick
