Whatever people think about Kubrick's work, most would agree that
there is something distinctive, even unique, about the films he
made: a coolness, an intellectual clarity, a critical edginess, and
finally an intractable ambiguity. In an attempt to isolate the
Kubrick difference, this book treats Kubrick's films to a
conceptual and formal analysis rather than a biographical and
chronological survey.
As Kubrick's cinema moves between the possibilities of human
transcendence dramatized in 2001: A Space Odyssey and the dismal
limitations of human nature exhibited in A Clockwork Orange, the
filmmaker's style "de-realizes" cinematic realism while,
paradoxically, achieving an unprecedented frankness of vision and
documentary and technical richness. The result is a kind of
vertigo: the audience is made aware of both the de-realized and the
realized nature of cinema. As opposed to the usual studies
providing a summary and commentary of individual films, this will
be the first to provide an analysis of the "elements" of Kubrick's
total cinema.
