Stanley Kubrick, Director: A Visual Analysis

Stanley Kubrick, Director: A Visual Analysis

<p><strong>Alexander Walker's <em>Stanley Kubrick, Director</em> is the only book ever written with Kubrick's cooperation.</strong></p> This new edition, revised and expanded to discuss all of Kubrick's films―including <em>Eyes Wide Shut</em>―again received the approval of the reclusive director, who before his death allowed the use of illustrations taken directly from his films' frames. The result is a frame-by-frame examination of the inimitable style that infuses every Kubrick movie, from the pitch-perfect hilarity of <em>Lolita</em> to the icy supremacy of <em>2001: A Space Odyssey</em> to the baroque horror of <em>The Shining</em>. The book's beautiful design and dynamic arrangement of photographic stills offer a frame-by-frame understanding of how Kubrick constructed a film. What emerges is a deeply human study of one remarkable artist's nature and obsessions, and how these changed and shifted in his four decades as a filmmaker. Black-and-white illustrations throughout, 8 pages of color.
