Stanley Kubrick's Napoleon . the Greatest Movie Never Made Review: A “Must-Have” for a Kubrick fan - This is so fascinating! This version is around 1,000 pages of multiple books compiled into one volume. It includes essays, research, photos and the 1969 draft of Kubrick’s Napoleon screenplay (which probably would have changed during shooting. This book is not really a “this is what the movie would have been” example, but definitely a testament to the amount of dedication and care that Kubrick put into his films, even ones that never survived pre-production. This was certainly his “White Whale” and a cinema / Kubrick fan can certainly lose themselves in this for hours and hours. It’s not designed to be read front to back; one can jump around as much as they please. Definitely recommend this along with “The Stanley Kubrick Archives” book Review: Great to read informally - I have to say I have never sat down and read this book in the normal way. Instead I tend to read it by browsing through and choosing a particular section and then just enjoying that section. The way it is set up, this kind of periodic enjoyment is perfect, as there are many different sections and each has a distinct topic. In particular I enjoyed the archived correspondence and the technical details of the film planning -- budgets, camera plans, cast logistics. There are relatively few studies of large film productions from this era, so even though this film was never made, the details are fascinating to read. Be warned, this is a huge and heavy book. It is hard to hold on your lap and really needs a horizontal place of honor for storage. I hate to suggest a coffee table but maybe a Napoleonic cabinet would work. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,392,969 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #280 in Individual Directors #971 in Movie Direction & Production #2,761 in Video Direction & Production (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (113) | | Dimensions | 9.1 x 2.6 x 11.3 inches | | ISBN-10 | 3836568896 | | ISBN-13 | 978-3836568890 | | Item Weight | 5.02 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 832 pages | | Publication date | April 10, 2018 | | Publisher | Taschen | ## Images ![Stanley Kubrick's "Napoleon". the Greatest Movie Never Made - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vCGLDOheL.jpg) ![Stanley Kubrick's "Napoleon". the Greatest Movie Never Made - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nB87BO1OL.jpg) ![Stanley Kubrick's "Napoleon". the Greatest Movie Never Made - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610FGpalSJL.jpg) ![Stanley Kubrick's "Napoleon". the Greatest Movie Never Made - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711stj0xhaL.jpg) ![Stanley Kubrick's "Napoleon". the Greatest Movie Never Made - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ShECjTsYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A “Must-Have” for a Kubrick fan *by J***Y on September 27, 2019* This is so fascinating!

If you're also a Kubrick nut, you will find NAPOLEON endlessly fascinating -- the literary equivalent of an ten-course meal at a five-star restaurant at the best restaurant you could ever possibly formulate in your imagination. Despite its cost, this publication does not disappoint. And what's fascinating to me is that -- despite NAPOLEON's comprehensiveness, from a "macro" standpoint -- a studious reader garners true, unbridled insight into the quotidian methodology of Kubrick's wholly astringent sensibility. This is thanks to the exhaustively collected (and beautifully reproduced) letters and memos (both from and to Stanley) and -- even more significantly -- the "hand-written annotations" that appear, throughout the material, in Kubrick's own hand. Particularly given the time-frame during which the bulk of this material was created -- in the immediate aftermath, for the most part, of 2001 -- it's fascinating to witness the means by which Stanley was leveraging his success (to ostensibly actuate his dream project), and the extent to which his reach occasionally (and ultimately) exceeded his grasp. Kubrick's insight into the workings of the Hollywood studio system is also on evidence; viz., there's a full draft of the NAPOLEON screenplay included, but the script's (somewhat schematic) side-stepping of the contemplated scope of the more ambitiously contemplated battlefield-centric production sequences (for example : Wellington appears, in the climactic clash, but has nary a line of dialogue) subtly suggests Kubrick's savvy insofar as making the project as financially palatable as possible to Hollywood's powers-that-be. As mentioned by other reviewers, the ancillary "costuming," "production design," and other magnificently-reproduced photographic volumes add immesurably to the experience. I spent a full weekend plumbing this thing, and it was a weekend well spent (and one I look forward to undertaking again, at some point in the future) (as with future viewings of Kubrick's masterpieces). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/60749082-stanley-kubricks-napoleon-the-greatest-movie-never-made](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/60749082-stanley-kubricks-napoleon-the-greatest-movie-never-made) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
