An engrossing biography of one of the most influential filmmakers in cinematic history
Kubrick grew up in the Bronx, a doctoresquo;s son. From a young age he was consumed by photography, chess, and, above all else, movies. He was a self???taught filmmaker and self???proclaimed outsider, and his films exist in a unique world of their own outside the Hollywood mainstream. Kubrickasquo;s Jewishness played a crucial role in his idea of himself as an outsider. Obsessed with rebellion against authority, war, and male violence, Kubrick was himself a calm, coolly masterful creator and a talkative, ever???curious polymath immersed in friends and family.
Drawing on interviews and new archival material, Mikics for the first time explores the personal side of Kubrickdsquo;s films.
