  • The Kubrick Facade
    Jason Sperb
    Many of Stanley Kubrick’s films are often interpreted as cold and ambiguous. Whether viewing Barry Lyndon, 2001, The Shining, or Eyes Wide Shut, there is a sense in which these films resist their own audiences, creating a distance from them. Though many note the coldness of Kubrick’s films, a smaller number attempt to explore exactly how his body of work elicits this particular...

    Linda Costanza Cahir / Linda Costanzo Cahir
    For most people, film adaptation of literature can be summed up in one sentence: 'The movie wasn’t as good as the book.'

    From the early days of film came Laurel and Hardy, a comedy team that created slapstick hilarity from life’s simplest situations.
