In an attempt to isolate the Kubrick difference, this book treats Kubrick's films to a conceptual and formal analysis rather than a biographical and chronological survey. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Kubrick's cinema moves between the possibilities of human transcendence dramatized in 2001: A Space Odyssey and the dismal limitations of human nature exhibited in A Clockwork Orange, the filmmaker's style \"de-realizes\" cinematic realism while, paradoxically, achieving an unprecedented frankness of vision and documentary and technical richness. The result is a kind of vertigo: the audience is made aware of both the de-realized and the realized nature of cinema. As opposed to the usual studies providing a summary and commentary of individual films, this will be the first to provide an analysis of the \"elements\" of Kubrick's total cinema.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45084742156439,"sku":"9781441156877","price":16478.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781441156877.webp?v=1767264728","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/kubricks-total-cinema-philosophical-themes-and-formal-qualities-9781441156877","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
