In Faces and Voices in the Films of Stanley Kubrick, author David Hughes examines Kubrick's use of actors and sound design in depth, providing a unique perspective on the director's enigmatic genius. Hughes argues that Kubrick's films are not simply about the stories they tell, but also about the ways in which they are told.
