The Kubrick Legacy

Book Overview

The six chapters assembled in The Kubrick Legacy showcase important trends in the evolution of filmmaker Stanley Kubrick's artistic legacy.

In the 20 years since his death an enormous range of information and scholarship has surfaced, in part from the Kubrick estate's public preservation, archiving, exhibition and promulgation of the auteur's staggering collection of research materials and film artefacts. These essays from international scholars chart incarnations of the official Kubrick exhibition of extensive artifacts touring the globe for the past decade; the filmmaker's lasting impact on established authors with whom he collaborated; the profound influence of Kubrick's use of existing music in film scores; the exponential rise of conspiracy theories and (mis)interpretation of his work since his death; the repeated imitation of and homage to his oeuvre across decades of international television advertising; and the (re)discovery of Kubrick on screen in both documentary form and dramatic characterization.

The Kubrick Legacy provides a tantalizing, critical snapshot of the enduring impact and influence of one of the twentieth century's most enigmatic and consummate screen artists.
