THE WOLF AT THE DOOR CONTEMPORARY FILM TELEVI...

The Wolf at the Door explores the remarkable formal and substantive patterns of cinematic
discourse on Germany and the Holocaust in Stanley Kubrick's films. It is the first book on
Kubrick to place his cinema into the full context of his life and times - his Jewish past 
early years spent under the shadows of fascism and war  and his 1957 marriage into a German
family of artists and filmmakers - all provoked his deeply ambivalent preoccupation with the
history of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. While personal and artistic reservations caused
Kubrick to abandon several plans for a film on the Holocaust  this preoccupation combined with
related cultural discourses in the 1970s  and culminated in a curiously indirect but compelling
Holocaust subtext in his 1980 horror film  The Shining. The Wolf at the Door draws on intensive
study of all of Kubrick's films  interviews with members of Kubrick's immediate family  and
archival research in the United States  Germany  the Netherlands  Poland  and Israel.
