The second edition of Mario Falsetto's extensive analysis of Kubrick's films carefully examines the filmmaker's oeuvre in its entiretyfrom smaller, early films (
The Killing
) through mid-career masterpieces (
Dr. Strangelove; 2001: A Space Odyssey; A Clockwork Orange
), later films such as
Full Metal Jacket
, and his final work, 1999's
Eyes Wide Shut
. The author, offering close readings supported by precise shot descriptions, shows us how Kubrick's body of work represents a stylistically and thematically consistent cinematic vision, one that merges formal experimentation with great philosophical complexity.
Falsetto explores many of Kubrick's often-used devices, including the long-take aesthetic, voice-overs, and moving camera, and discusses the thematic uses to which these techniques are applied. Finally, he presents the very first formal analysis of
, the director's final, very much underrated masterwork.
