Stanley Kubrick. American Director

No circulation

Kubrick grew up in the Bronx in a family of a doctor. From a young age, he was fascinated by photography, chess, and, of course, cinema. He was a self-taught director; his films are a unique world, not fitting into... the confines of Hollywood mainstream. Kubrick's Jewish heritage played a decisive role in shaping his self-image as a self-proclaimed outsider. Obsessed with ideas of rebellion against authorities, war, and the supremacy of raw masculine power, Kubrick was simultaneously a virtuoso master and an insatiable, curious intellectual who cherished his family and friends. David Mikics, an honorary professor of English philology at the University of Houston and the author of a regular column in Tablet magazine, draws on interview notes and archival materials to offer readers a deeper insight into the life and work of the legendary director, presenting for the first time the personal side of Kubrick's films and vividly illustrating how much soul he poured into each of his works.
