Kubrick's Mitteleuropa

This volume examines the often-overlooked Central European Jewish heritage of Stanley Kubrick, one of the most influential American directors of the post-World War II era. It traces the profound impact of this background on his films, from his collaborations with Hungarian and Polish composers to the visual aesthetics inspired by Central European Modernist artists. Additionally, the book offers critical insights into how Kubrick's films were received in Eastern European countries.
