In 'The Wolf at the Door: Stanley Kubrick, History and the Holocaust' Geoffrey Cocks has accomplished what had seemed impossible - to inhabit the inner-life of the great, and highly secretive film director. What Cocks finds in the subconscious mind behind the films are meditations on War, the Holocaust and the real and secret history of the world explored through Kubrick's iconoclastic world view. 'The Wolf at the Door' applies an astute understanding of geopolitics and psychology to the detailed facts of Kubrick's earthly existence - the results bring insight into this mysterious twentieth century cinematic icon. (Vincent LoBrutto, author of 'Stanley Kubrick: A Biography')
