In a comprehensively revised and updated new edition, James
Naremore provides an illuminating critical account of the films of
Stanley Kubrick, from his earliest feature, Fear and Desire (1953),
to the posthumously-produced A.I. Artificial Intelligence (Steven
Spielberg, 2001). Naremore offers provocative analyses of each of
Kubrick's films, considering his emphasis on the absurdity of
combat, as in Paths of Glory (1957) and Full Metal Jacket (1987),
the failure of scientific reasoning, as in 2001 (1968), and the
fascistic impulses in masculine sexuality, as in Dr Strangelove
(1964) and Eyes Wide Shut (1999). He argues that while Kubrick was
a voracious intellectual and a life-long autodidact, the
fascination of his work has less to do with the ideas it espouses
than with the emotions it evokes. Combining close readings with new
insights into the production histories and cultural contexts of key
films, Naremore provides a concise yet thorough discussion that
will be useful to students of Kubrick's filmmaking and cinephiles
who seek a deeper insight into the work of this perfectionist
genius. Revised throughout, this new edition also includes a fully
updated bibliography of critical writings on Kubrick's cinema.
