The Shining

R

Special intro Wed. night: The Paintings of Alex Colville in The Shining

"A masterpiece." In accordance with the Kubrick legend, the process of making the movie took meticulousness to staggering levels.The result is gloriously precision-made. Every frame of the film brims with Kubrick's genius for implying psychological purpose in setting. This was horror of the mind transposed to place (or, indeed, vice versa).

“‘I demand satisfaction!’ These words echo throughout Stanley Kubrick’s sedate, sumptuous eighteenth-century satire, as men in outrageous frocks challenge one another to pistols at dawn over matters of love and honour.

Eyes Wide Shut

R

Stanley Kubrick series. "Kubrick's final film is unique in his oeuvre for concluding on a note of apparent affirmation." - Film Comment

“As an epilogue to the career of Stanley Kubrick who died within days of delivering the finished film, Eyes Wide Shut is just about perfect in that it is unmistakably, definitely Kubrickian.  A psychological probing of marriage, desire, jealousy and sexual paranoia. This is about the reality of sexual love versus its illusions.
