Summary:

In The Kubrick Facade, Jason Sperb examines the narrative ambiguity of the director's films--from the voice-over narration in early works, including the once forgotten Fear and Desire--to the blank faces of characters in his later ones. In doing so, Sperb shows how both devices struggle in vain to make sense of the chaos and sterility of the cinematic surface.
