Some clever and insightful essays on Kubrick's 1968 Science Fiction masterpiece. Kolker presents the most current "readings" of this timeless classic. A great read for all lovers of film and film criticism.
As title states, these are new essays on 2001 (the book is dated 2006) by leading scholars about the film from a variety of perspectives, hoping to cover all bases. So there’s an essay about its critical reception, one by a computer scientist about HAL (not the best essay here but some may find interesting), sharp analyses by renowned Kubrick scholars such as Susan White, and even a lyrical appreciation by writer-scholar George Toles.
