If you’ve never seen The Shining, add it to your list of must see movies. It’s based on a phenomenal book by Stephen King and, in my mind, it’s Kubrick’s masterwork (though A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Dr. Strangelove, and Full Metal Jacket certainly give it a run for the money). The Shining has an IMDB score of 8.4, if you care about that sort of thing.
In 2007, Director Gary Leva put together a documentary, lovingly exploring the details behind the making of this movie. If you are a film fan, this is a real gift.
Not sure when this first appeared online, but I just encountered it, thought it was worth sharing, perfect fare for a lazy Sunday. Enjoy.
The Vimeo post says it was uploaded only three weeks ago. I wonder where it’s been before now. Thanks for the alert.
This documentary was included on the Shining Special Edition two DVD release in 2007. Maybe elsewhere, but that’s where I saw it.
