This expanded edition of Thomas Nelson's trenchant study of a
master of film includes new chapters on "Full Metal Jacket" and
"Eyes Wide Shut". In the wake of the director's death, Nelson
reconsiders his body of work as a whole. By placing Kubrick in an
historical and theoretical context, this study is a reliable guide
into - and out of - Stanely Kubrick's cinematic maze.;Stanely
Kubrick ranks among the most important American film makers of his
generation, but his work is often misunderstood because it is
widely diverse in subject matter and seems to lack thematic and
tonal consistency. Thomas Nelson's perceptive and comprehensive
study of Kubrick rescues him from the hostility of autherist
critics and discovers the roots of a Kubrickian aesthetic, which
Nelson defines as the aesthetics of contingency. After analyzing
how this aesthetic develops and manifests itself in the early
works, Nelson devotes individual chapters to "Lolita", "Dr.
Strangelove", "2001 - A Space Odyssey", "A Clockwork Orange",
"Barry Lyndon", and "The Shining". For this expanded edition,
Nelson has added chapters on "Full Metal Jacket" and "Eyes Wide
Shut".
