Cíle předmětu
Born in 1928 in New York, Stanley Kubrick is widely regarded as one of the most important filmmakers of the second half of the 20th century. Usually described as an obsessive maverick who asserted control over all aspects of film production, Kubrick stamped his mark on a range of genres, including Science Fiction (2001: A Space Odyssey, 1968), horror (The Shining, 1980) and the Vietnam movie (Full Metal Jacket, 1987). Following an early career as a photographer for Look magazine, from the beginning of the 1950s to the late 1990s Kubrick made several short documentaries and thirteen feature films. Apart from the first two, all of his features were (co-)financed and distributed by the major Hollywood studios and based on literary sources, and they received a lot of critical acclaim. Starting with the historical epic Spartacus (1960), Kubrick also became one of the most commercially successful American filmmakers. Interestingly, from the early 1960s onwards, all of his films were made in the UK, where Kubrick moved with his family during this decade. This course combines lectures with screenings of almost all of Kubrick’s shorts and features, the screenings being followed by plenary discussions. Drawing on a wide range of materials from the Stanley Kubrick Archive at the University of the Arts London, the lectures, as well as the journal essays and book chapters to be read for each session, examine how Kubrick made his films and the wider film industrial context in which he made them; their main themes and stylistic characteristics; and their marketing, commercial performance and reception. Please note that the Thursday sessions do not simply consist of film screenings, but combine screenings with introductory talks and plenary discussions. Also note that this course will be assessed through an English language exam (details about this to be circulated later). The main textbook is Tatjana Ljujic, Peter Krämer and Richard Daniels (eds), Stanley Kubrick: New Perspectives, London: Black Dog, 2015.
