Description de l'ouvrage:
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.

Revue de Presse:
"This Companion stands out as one of the most substantial overviews of "Kubrick Studies" currently available. For students new to his work, it provides a wide-ranging introduction to Kubrick, employing a comprehensive array of film studies methods-from aesthetics, adaptation studies, and auteur analysis, to identity politics, industry analysis, and archival research. Just as importantly, contributors offer groundbreaking re-evaluations of Kubrick's films and reputation. An indispensable volume." ―Warren Buckland, Reader in Film Studies, Oxford Brookes University, UK
