Review of Stanley Kubrick New York Jewish Intellectual

Description

The following review appeared in Donovan's Literary Services:

Stanley Kubrick: New York Jewish Intellectual is a multifaceted and in-depth biographical survey of a film director whose approach produced some of the world's greatest productions.
While readers might anticipate that this survey will focus on his techniques, Nathan Abrams, a professor of film studies in Wales, takes a different approach by tracing his roots in New York as a member of the Jewish community and considering Kubrick's works in light of his cultural influences and background.
The result discusses key themes in his pictures, how they reflected New York Jewish intellectual concerns of the times, and how his Jewish identity ultimately influenced the creation of some of the most engrossing films of his era.
No film or Jewish history holding should be without this different approach to Kubrick's film magic.
