{"product_id":"stanley-kubrick-american-filmmaker-jewish-lives","title":"Stanley Kubrick: American Filmmaker (Jewish Lives)","description":"An engrossing biography of one of the most influential filmmakers in cinematic history\n\n\"A cool, cerebral book about a cool, cerebral talent. . . . A brisk study of [Kubrick's] films, with enough of the life tucked in to add context as well as brightness and bite.”—Dwight Garner, New York Times\n\n\"An engaging and well-researched primer to the work of a cinematic legend.\"—Library Journal\n\nKubrick grew up in the Bronx, a doctor’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. Kubrick’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.\n\nDrawing on interviews and new archival material, David Mikics for the first time explores the personal side of Kubrick’s films.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0300224400\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.0300224400.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mikics, David\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book  is in good condition and has some writing, underlining, and or highlighting inside.
