Ulrich Ruchti

Ulrich Ruchti provides a wonderful visual analysis of ALL of Stanley Kubrick's films. What I like most about this book is the fact that Ruchti definitely supplies intense film criticism for each film, but does not lose himself in highfalutin and bombastic academic prose that many film critics tend to do.

Ruchti also provides many stills from Kubrick's movies to aid in the analyses that are made throughout the book. One of the highlights is the section devoted to Kubrick's use of color in his films. It is a small section that is presented in full color, but the analytical breakdowns that are provided with it truly show the artistic quality that Kubrick possessed as a filmmaker.

Trust me, this book will not disappoint any person who is a lover of film and film criticism, and it is definitely a MUST READ for all Kubrick lovers.… (más)
