A call from Carlos Saura put Vicente Molina Foix in contact with Stanley Kubrick, who, over twenty years of a relationship that only ended with the director's death, translated the dialogues of five of his films into Spanish.
This book is a chronicle of that work and of the sporadic but often juicy contact with the filmmaker himself – of which an atypical interview that Molina Foix did with him at his home in the 80s, and which is included as an appendix, is testimony – and about a portrait of him as an infinitely curious creator, manic in demanding quality, who became the most famous and powerful figure in American cinema while remaining a meticulous and artisanal artist.
A first-hand testimony of Stanley Kubrick's work ethic is provided by the Spanish translator of five of his films.
