Reviews

Every page of this book expresses admiration for America's most philosophical filmmaker, all the while providing insight into his creative vision. -- William Irwin, coeditor of More Matrix and Philosophy: Revolutions and Reloade Offers a provocative, well-written, intelligently argued, and by-and-large persuasive set of essays on Kubrick's films. This volume fills a currently empty niche in the literature on Kubrick and will likely remain of interest to scholarly and general readers for a couple of decades or more. --Michael Valdez Moses, author of The Novel of Globalization and Culture --
