Stanley Kubrick: Inside a Film Artist’s Maze by Thomas Allen Nelson
Requirements: .PDF reader, 28.6MB
Overview: Stanley Kubrick ranks among the most important American film makers of his generation, but his work is often misunderstood because it is widely diverse in subject matter and seems to lack thematic and tonal consistency. Thomas Allen Nelson’s perceptive and comprehensive study of Kubrick rescues him from the hostility of auteurist critics and discovers the roots of a Kubrickian aesthetic, which Nelson defines as the aesthetics of contingency.
After analyzing how this aesthetic develops and manifests itself in the early works, Nelson devotes individual chapters to Lolita, Doctor Stangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon and The Shining. By placing Kubrick in a historical and theoretical context, this study is a reliable guide into and out of Stanley Kubrick’s cinematic maze.
