| Summary |
"Stanley Kubrick: New Perspectives brings together essays by writers who have examined the traces that Kubrick's work has left in archives, in particular his own archive, which was donated to the University of the Arts London in 2007. Richly illustrated with film stills and previously unseen material from the Stanley Kubrick Archive, this book is designed to open the reader's eyes to the wonder and richness of Kubrick's oeuvre. The essays included in this collection offer new perspectives on Kubrick's working methods, the manifold influences on his films, their themes and style, as well as their marketing and reception. Between them, the essays cover the totality of Kubrick's career, from his early work as a photojournalist to his last movie, Eyes Wide Shut, which was released a few months after his death in 1999."--Page 4 of cover. |
