Was cult filmmaker Stanley Kubrick interested in the world of the occult? Professor of Film Nathan Abrams sheds light on the enigmatic, elusive undercurrents in the iconic director's work.
Occult means ''occluded, hidden from view''. It denotes a world of mystery and esoteric knowledge hidden in plain sight, a world that only divulges its secrets to those who speak the secret language of symbols. Legendary auteur Stanley Kubrick certainly was well-versed in this language -his films mostly take place in liminal, dreamlike settings where nothing is ever as it seems, and where strange, subconscious forces loom just below the surface, bleeding through the mundane and subverting it completely. The enigmatic and elusive filmmaker has not been treated to a full-length biography in over twenty years. Nathan Abrams fills that gap with his biography “Stanley Kubrick: An Odyssey”.
This groundbreaking work illuminates all things Kubrick, including his ‘occult’ aspect that has given rise to speculation, myths and even conspiracies over the years. Abrams has based his biography on access to the latest research, especially into Kubrick archive at the University of the Arts London, as well as new interviews with family members and those who worked with the filmmaker. It offers comprehensive and in-depth coverage of Kubrick’s personal, private, public, and working life. Join us to discuss this lesser known, 'occluded' Kubrick and puncture a few myths about this allegedly reclusive filmmaker, who created some of the most important works of art of the twentieth century.
