From a young age Kubrick was consumed by photography, chess, and movies. He was a self-taught filmmaker and self-proclaimed outsider. His films exist in a unique world of their own outside the Hollywood mainstream.
Obsessed with rebellion against authority, and war Kubrick was himself a calm, coolly masterful creator.
Drawing on interviews and new archival material, Mikics for the first time explores the personal side of Kubrick’s films.
The book’s sub-title is American Filmmaker. This is a fitting tribute to one of the great film directors.
This book is an engrossing biography of one of the most influential filmmakers in cinematic history
