{"product_id":"on-kubrick-james-naremore-9781839023996","title":"On Kubrick: Revised Edition","description":"\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). Naremore offers provocative analyses of each of Kubrick's films, considering his emphasis on the absurdity of combat, as in\u003ci\u003e Paths 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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRevised throughout, this new edition also includes a fully updated bibliography of critical writings on Kubrick's cinema.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Naremore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1839023996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839023996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Film Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.66h x 7.64w x 0.58d","brand":"James Naremore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077774176511,"sku":"9781839023996","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_684b6fd6-9e6c-4225-a2f3-8dc4f09cffa7.jpg?v=1685471715","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-kubrick-james-naremore-9781839023996","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
