    Stanley Kubrick has earned his reputation based on only a dozen films over nearly five decades. What is it about the nightmare worlds he depicts that cause audiences to find his work so compelling? His ambitious masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey, revolutionized the medium by exploding past technical limitations and inspiring a new generation of artists to facilitate even bolder innovation. But Kubrick’s overall contributions are much more than those of a supremely sophisticated visual stylist. His films, no matter what their genre, force viewers to confront startling facets of our world. Additional films to be examined include: Lolita, Dr. Strangelove, and The Shining (on 35mm). Taught at Bryn Mawr Film Institute by Marc Lapadula, M.F.A., Film Studies Program, Yale University.
