Jeff Dawson of the Times’ article ‘Stanley Kubrick’s Napoleon: the greatest movie never made?’ is an interesting re-telling of the usual Kubrick/Napoleon stories which ties with in the release of Alison Castle’s book in November.

Hopefully Taschen will do a cheaper re-print as they did with the ‘Stanley Kubrick Archives‘.
