Stanley Kubrick: American Filmmaker
English
By (author): David Mikics
An engrossing biography of one of the most influential filmmakers in cinematic history
A cool, cerebral book about a cool, cerebral talent. . . . A brisk study of [Kubrick's] films, with enough of the life tucked in to add context as well as brightness and bite.Dwight Garner, New York Times
An engaging and well-researched primer to the work of a cinematic legend.Library Journal
Kubrick grew up in the Bronx, a doctors son. From a young age he was consumed by photography, chess, and, above all else, movies. He was a selftaught filmmaker and selfproclaimed outsider, and his films exist in a unique world of their own outside the Hollywood mainstream. Kubricks Jewishness played a crucial role in his idea of himself as an outsider. Obsessed with rebellion against authority, war, and male violence, Kubrick was himself a calm, coolly masterful creator and a talkative, evercurious polymath immersed in friends and family.
Drawing on interviews and new archival material, David Mikics for the first time explores the personal side of Kubricks films. See more
