Vol 31, 2003, pp. 35-45 "This paper shows the value of using a depth-psychological approach in understanding the life and work of the film director Stanley Kubrick. This director is an especially compelling example of the relevance of Freud and psychoanalysis to film. Among other things, his last film, "Eyes Wide Shut," was based on a story by Arthur Schnitzler, a Viennese writer whose psychological insight was much admired by Freud.

Naremore, J. "Stanley Kubrick and the Aesthetics of the Grotesque" [Cover story]. Film Quarterly v. 60 no. 1 (Fall 2006) p. 4-14 UC users only "Many features of director Stanley Kubrick's style create a cold emotional tone or an air of perfectionism and aesthetic detachment. First among these is what Time magazine once referred to as the lapidary" quality of his photographic imagery, which depends upon visibly motivated and rather hard light sources, and which normally favors a deep-focus, crystal-clear resolution. Kubrick ... liked to use the wide-angle lens, which he employed similarly to Orson Welles, to establish a frightening, dynamic, and sometimes caricatured sense of space. Like Welles and Max Ophuls, he was a virtuoso of the moving camera, although he normally created a more rigidly geometrical scene. Kubrick's tracking movements follow the characters in a lateral direction, moving past objects in the foreground, or they advance ruthlessly down an eerie corridor toward impending doom, rather like the unstoppable march of a military maneuver.
