Abstract

This essay examines the expressive relevance of architectural elements in the films of Stanley Kubrick. The proposals of Hermann Muthesius and Frank Lloyd Wright concerning the relationships of function to form and of ornement to the architectural whole are considered as a theoretical ground for exploring the ways in which elements such as windows, staircases, corridors and ornament acquire symbolic and narrative functions in Kubrick.Cet essai examine la pertinence éloquente des éléments d'architecture dans les films de Stanley Kubrick. Les propositions de Hermann Muthesius et Frank Lloyd Wright concernant les rapports entre la forme et l'architecture sont considérés comme une base théorique pour explorer les voies selon lesquelles des éléments comme les fenêtres, les cages d'escalier, les corridors et l'ornement prennent des fonctions symboliques et narratives chez Kubrick.
