Taking at its starting point the idea that Kubrick's cinema has constituted an intellectual, cerebral, and philosophical maze in which many filmmakers have gotten lost at one point or another, this collection looks at the legacy of Kubrick's films in the 21st century.
The main avenues investigated are as follows: a look at Kubrick's influence on his most illustrious followers ; Kubrick in critical reception; Kubrick in stylistic , thematic , aesthetic and political terms .
The contributions coalesce around the concept of a Kubrickian substrate, rich and complex, which permeates our Western cultural landscape very much to this day, informing and sometimes announcing/reflecting it in twisted ways, 21 years after the director's death.
