Stanley Kubrick is one of the most revered directors in cinema
history. His 13 films, including classics such as Paths of Glory,
2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, and The
Shining, attracted controversy, acclaim, a devoted cult following,
and enormous critical interest. With this comprehensive guide to
the key contexts - industrial and cultural, as well as aesthetic
and critical - the themes of Kubrick's films sum up the current
vibrant state of Kubrick studies. Bringing together an
international team of leading scholars and emergent voices, this
Companion provides comprehensive coverage of Stanley Kubrick’s
contribution to cinema. After a substantial introduction outlining
Kubrick's life and career and the film's production and reception
contexts, the volume consists of 39 contributions on key themes
that both summarise previous work and offer new, often
archive-based, state-of-the-art research. In addition, it is
specifically tailored to the needs of students wanting an
authoritative, accessible overview of academic work on Kubrick.
