Description
Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon: A Transnational Perspective on Cinema and Visuality This groundbreaking study offers a fresh perspective on Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, exploring its transnational contexts and intermedial relationships. Maria Pramaggiore examines the film as a foreign production shot in Ireland, an adaptation of a British novel by an American director about an Irish subject. By analyzing the film's source novel, production, and reception, as well as its systematic textual analysis, Pramaggiore sheds new light on Kubrick's philosophical mediation on cinema's capacity to represent reality. This book promises to make a significant impact in Kubrick studies, 1970s filmmaking, cultural history, and transnational film practice. Through extensive research and engagement with contemporary academic debate, Pramaggiore provides a nuanced understanding of Barry Lyndon as a work that continues to fascinate audiences today.
