Synopsis

We'll Meet Again

About this title

Review:

For years people have been discussing these films' ever-fascinating layers of narrative and imagery. Now McQuiston, fresh from time spent at the recently-opened Kubrick archives in London, joins the conversation with brilliant commentary on the films' sound and music. Kubrick fans will love this book. (James Wierzbicki, author of Film Music: A History)

No director was more attentive to music than Stanley Kubrick. And now, here is a thoroughly researched, gracefully written book that does justice to what Kubrick achieved with his music. McQuiston has made an essential contribution to the literature on music and cinema. (Krin Gabbard, author of Hotter Than That: The Trumpet, Jazz, and American Culture)

This book tackles the musical aesthetic and practice of one of the most influential filmmakers in the post-classical period. The level of archival detail it engages in is impressive and stands to revise not just our understanding of Kubrick's films but the definition of auteurism and soundtrack compilation practice since the 1960s (Julie Hubbert, Associate Professor of Music, University of South Carolina)
