Encounter 3 - Figures of Modernity

From the beginning of the 1960s Kubrick accentuated the modernity of his cinema, thanks also to a new idea of the character. An example of this is the protagonist of Lolita (1962), a figure of a mysterious and ambiguous maiden, but this is also the first film in which Kubrick reflects on the potential of the gaze. The director amplified this dimension in Dr. Strangelove (1964), a biting satire on the atomic destruction of the world, up to the absolute masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey (1969), a world-film that invented a new type of gaze, the cognitive gaze, and a new way of making cinema.
