Stanley Kubrick’s films unravel failed masteries and collapsed heroes, undermining notions of masculinity and relationships.

In his new biography on the life of the legendary filmmaker, Professor David Mikics offers a fascinating look into Kubrick's view of the world and how his Jewishness affected his idea of himself as an outsider.

In this talk, Mikics offers a glimpse into Kubrick's work, and what can we learn from him at this moment.
