Film as Embodied Art: Bodily Meaning in the Cinema of Stanley Kubrick - Paperback

by Maarten Coëgnarts (Author)

Film as Embodied Art reveals Stanley Kubrick as a genuine master of the art of embodying the mental life of characters, a filmmaker who perhaps more than any other director, uses all the resources of filmmaking in such a controlled and dense manner as to elicit the embodied conditions necessary to achieve a level of conceptual depth.
