[Commlist] New edition - Understanding Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey

Intellect is pleased to announce that */Understanding Kubrick's 2001: A 
Space Odyssey/* 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/understanding-kubricks-2001-a-space-odyssey>/,/ edited 
by James Fenwick, is now available in paperback.

Scholars have been studying the films of Stanley Kubrick for decades. 
This book, however, breaks new ground by bringing together recent 
empirical approaches to Kubrick with earlier formalist approaches to 
arrive at a broader understanding of the ways in which Kubrick’s methods 
were developed to create the unique aesthetic creation that is 2001: A 
Space Odyssey. More than 50 years after its release, contributors 
explore the film’s still striking design, vision and philosophical 
structure, offering new insights and analyses that will give even 
dedicated Kubrick fans new ways of thinking about the director and his 
masterpiece.
