"In The Kubrick Facade, Jason Sperb examines the narrative ambiguity of the director's films - from the voice-over narration in early works to the blank faces of characters in later ones. In doing so, Sperb shows how both devices struggle to make sense of the chaos and sterility of the cinematic surface. All thirteen of Kubrick's feature-length films are discussed in chronological order, from the little-seen and long-neglected Fear and Desire to the posthumous release of Eyes Wide Shut."--Jacket.
