{"product_id":"on-kubrick-by-james-naremore-9781839023996","title":"On Kubrick","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a comprehensively revised and updated new edition, James Naremore provides an illuminating critical account of the films of Stanley Kubrick, from his earliest feature, \u003ci\u003eFear and Desire\u003c\/i\u003e (1953), to the posthumously-produced \u003ci\u003eA.I. Artificial Intelligence\u003c\/i\u003e (Steven Spielberg, 2001).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNaremore offers provocative analyses of each of Kubrick's films, considering his emphasis on the absurdity of combat, as seen in \u003ci\u003ePaths of Glory\u003c\/i\u003e (1957) and \u003ci\u003eFull Metal Jacket\u003c\/i\u003e (1987), the failure of scientific reasoning, as in \u003ci\u003e2001\u003c\/i\u003e (1968), and the fascistic impulses in masculine sexuality, as in \u003ci\u003eDr Strangelove\u003c\/i\u003e (1964) and \u003ci\u003eEyes Wide Shut\u003c\/i\u003e (1999). He argues that while Kubrick was a voracious intellectual and a life-long autodidact, the fascination of his work has less to do with the ideas it espouses than with the emotions it evokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombining close readings with new insights into the production histories and cultural contexts of key films, Naremore provides a concise yet thorough discussion that will be useful to students of Kubrick's filmmaking and cinephiles who seek a deeper insight into the work of this perfectionist genius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRevised throughout, this new edition also includes a fully updated bibliography of critical writings on Kubrick's cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431774535916,"sku":"9781839023996","price":63.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781839023996.jpg?v=1774557191","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/on-kubrick-by-james-naremore-9781839023996","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
