Robert Kolker is Emeritus Professor of Film Studies and Digital Media at the University of Maryland.
"Robert Kolker, one of the best writers on Kubrick, has assembled
nine impressive new essays from talented contributors on the
director's most spectacular and enigmatic film. The collection is
valuable not only for its post-millenial commentary on 2001, but
also for its fresh insights into Kubrick's work as a whole."--James
Naremore, author of More Than Night: Film Noir in Its Contexts
"Stanley Kubrick's films have a reputation for stimulating the
mind. This brilliant collection of essays confirms it gloriously
and proves that 2001: A Space Odyssey is an inexhaustible source
for analysis."--Michel Ciment, author of Kubrick
"Kubrick's 2001 redefined the science fiction genre, transforming
its limits, broadening the scope of what it can do. It is one of
the rare examples of a film which aims to make us think not ABOUT
images, but IN images and sounds. The volume on the film edited by
Robert Kolker does the same for film studies. While it analyzes in
detail different aspects of the film, it respects, strengthens
even, its unfathomable beauty. Much more than a volume of
excellent theory, the book is an invitation to think with sensuous
pleasure."--Slavoj Zizek
