Description

Stanley Kubrick's films have long fascinated audiences with their complex ideas and powerful emotions. This revised edition of James Naremore's critical account explores each of Kubrick's feature films, from his early work to the posthumous release of A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Naremore offers insightful analyses of Kubrick's films, examining themes such as the absurdity of combat, the failure of scientific reasoning, and the fascistic impulses in masculine sexuality. He argues that while Kubrick was a voracious intellectual, his work is ultimately driven by its emotional resonance rather than its intellectual content. This updated edition includes new insights into production histories and cultural contexts, making it a valuable resource for students of Kubrick's filmmaking and cinephiles seeking a deeper understanding of this perfectionist director.
