Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop
Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) has long been recognised as one
of the key artistic expressions of the nuclear age. Made at a time
when nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union was
a real possibility, the film is menacing, exhilarating, thrilling,
insightful and very funny. Combining a scene-by-scene analysis of
Dr. Strangelove with new research in the Stanley Kubrick Archive,
Peter Kramer's study foregrounds the connections the film
establishes between the Cold War and World War II, and between
sixties America and Nazi Germany. How did the film come to be named
after a character who only appears in it very briefly? Why does he
turn out to be a Nazi? And how are his ideas for post-apocalyptic
survival in mineshafts connected to the sexual fantasies of the
military men who destroy life on the surface of the Earth? This
special edition features original cover artwork by Marian Bantjes.
