The Wolf At The Door Explores The Remarkable Formal And Substantive Patterns Of Cinematic Discourse On Germany And The Holocaust In Stanley Kubricks 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 Kubricks Films, Interviews With Members Of Kubricks Immediate Family, And Archival Research In The United States, Germany, The Netherlands, Poland, And Israel.
