Recommended reading - Kubrick: Inside a Film Artist's Maze (2000):

Kubrick: Inside a Film Artist’s Maze

by Thomas Allen Nelson.

New and Expanded Edition.

Paperback.

ISBN-10: 0253213908

ISBN-13: 978-0253213907

Published 2000.

Description:

Stanley Kubrick ranks among the most important American film makers of his generation, but his work is often misunderstood because it is widely diverse in subject matter and seems to lack thematic and tonal consistency. Thomas Nelson’s perceptive and comprehensive study of Kubrick rescues him from the hostility of auteurist critics and discovers the roots of a Kubrickian aesthetic, which Nelson defines as the “aesthetics of contingency.” After analyzing how this aesthetic develops and manifests itself in the early works, Nelson devotes individual chapters to Lolita, Dr. Stangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, and The Shining. For this expanded edition, Nelson has added chapters on Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut, and, in the wake of the director’s death, reconsidered his body of work as a whole. By placing Kubrick in a historical and theoretical context, this study is a reliable guide into – and out of – Stanley Kubrick’s cinematic maze.

Lauren Oliver, on books:

But ... books are so much more.

Some of them are webs; you can feel your way along their threads, but just barely, into strange and dark corners.

Some of them are balloons bobbing up through the sky: totally self-contained, and unreachable, but beautiful to watch.

And some of them – the best ones – are doors.

– Lauren Oliver.
