| dcterms.abstract | Stanley Kubrick's oeuvre is characterized throughout by a distinct and unique interest in violence, sexuality, the uncomfortable, the eerie, the unknown, the beyond, and the grotesque. His aesthetic and conceptual approach achieves a special quality of calling attention to the liminal - those unspoken, unseen, uncertain, ungrounded, fleeting, and perhaps ineffable, moments and spaces in the visual and narrative presentation that occur between scenes, between characters, between images, and between the viewer and the film itself. In doing so Kubrick destabilizes the viewing experience and suspends the viewer in moments of uncertainty, discomfort, and ambiguity, achieving this effect even in those films with an ostensibly straightforward narrative arc and traditional literary and filmic structure. His 1975 epic Barry Lyndon serves as a fertile and profound elaboration of this effect, helps to define the grotesque in the films of Kubrick, and displays how Kubrick employs this effect to stimulate and challenge viewers. Hypnotizing us with sumptuous visual beauty, refined manner, and a rollicking narrative, Kubrick casts a spell on the viewer that lingers forever. | |
