Table Of ContentThe Kubrick Legacy
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 artifacts. 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.
