Book: Kubrick’s Men by Richard Rambuss
The work of Stanley Kubrick amounts to a sustained reflection on the male condition: past, present, and future. The persistent theme of his filmmaking is less violence or sex than it is the pressurized exertion of masculinity in unusual or extreme circumstances, where it may be taxed or exaggerated to various effects, tragic and comic―or metamorphosed, distorted, and even undone.
Examining the formal, thematic, and theoretical affiliations between Kubrick’s three bodies of work―his photographs, his documentaries, and his feature films―Kubrick’s Men offers new vantages on to the question of gender and sexuality, including the first extended treatment of homosexuality in Kubrick’s male-oriented work.
Film: A Clockwork Orange (1971) Dir. Stanley Kubrick
Alex DeLarge and his droogs barbarize a decaying near-future.
Private screening and discussion will take place at Sidewalk Cinema June 25th at 6:00pm.
This SHOUT program is sponsored by Birmingham AIDS Outreach.
