{"product_id":"kubricks-total-cinema-1","title":"Kubrick's Total Cinema","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhatever 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252003164504,"sku":"9781628929478","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781628929478_6424cf6f-d628-4ff9-b7cf-2ff486f18b0b.jpg?v=1748059254","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/kubricks-total-cinema-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
