Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
In 1962, an MGM trailer teased its audience by asking "How Did They Ever Make a Movie Out of Lolita?" Readers of this book, which recounts the life of Lolita's director, might reasonably ask, "How Did They Ever Write a Biography of Stanley Kubrick?" Kubrick is the most reclusive of celebrities, a man who seems mysterious even to those who have known and worked with him. Vincent Lobrutto's engrossing and beautifully researched biography succeeds in tracing this meticulous and brilliant visionary from his childhood and early career as a photographer for Look magazine to his creation of masterpieces such as Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, and Full Metal Jacket. Lobrutto concludes his book by discussing projects that have not yet been realized: Eyes Wide Shut, a film about sexual obsession, the Holocaust drama Aryan Papers, and the most eagerly awaited of Kubrick's prospective movies, the science fiction film A.I.

Format:Taschenbuch
....at times, then there is nothing, with no explanation. He is inconsistant with his info, at times failing to give simple details, like whether a particular film made $$!
The first chapters are the worst, with a sea of exruciatingly detailed info about his childhood.....like countless addresses.....thrown together in a turely ham-fisted manner. And then there is little revealing detail about the making of the movies. This from a man who is a film school professor! Don't quit your day job Mr LoBrutto!
Format:Taschenbuch
LoBrutto conducts tons of interviews, does endless legwork, and thenspews the data almost completely unedited onto the page. While this can makefor frustrating, fragmented, and dull reading, I prefer this approach to the shoot-from-the-hip psychoanalysis that passes for biography these days (such as in Spoto's Hitchcock bio). Still, LoBrutto's writing style leaves a lot to be desired: when he compares a deli pickle angrily tossed by a young Kubrick to the spinning bone in "2001," he manages to ruin a funny observation with clunky prose. (Never mind my own clunky prose in that sentence!) The early parts of Kubrick's life suffer the most in this respect, but the book moves along nicely once Kubrick begins filmmaking. It's especially good once Arthur C. Clarke begins collaborating with him on "2001" -- the energy in their relationship is fascinating.
I admire LoBrutto's restraint in discussing Kubrick's personal life. A lesser biographer would see his subject's reclusiveness as license to speculate wildly, yet LoBrutto leaves well enough alone. If you read this, you'll know little about Kubrick's failed marriages but a lot about how "Paths of Glory" managed to get made. So, this flawed bio is probably only worthwhile to die-hard Kubrickians...
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
How some individuals spew and others poke causing the uninformed to almost choke on speculation and fabrication such as Lobrutto and the icon of self-delusion - Bogdanovich. Wasted tomes and altered realities.
