Three by Kubrick: THE SHINING

This Halloween, our treat to you is a 35mm screening of Stanley Kubrick's horror classic The Shining, with an introduction by Assistant Professor Craig Buckley. Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Danny Lloyd, and Scatman Crothers star in what has been called "a masterpiece" (Time Out), "a brilliant success" (ReelViews), "essential viewing" (Little White Lies), and "deeply scary and strange" (The Guardian). This terrifying trip to the Overlook Hotel was added to the Library of Congress's National Film Registry in 2018.

The Three by Kubrick series launches with A Clockwork Orange, the 1971 dystopian crime film adapted from the novel by Anthony Burgess. Malcolm McDowell stars in what Time Magazine called "a merciless, demoniac satire in the future imperfect" and the London Evening Standard praised as "one of the most unsettling films in the whole of cinema." Stanley Kubrick received three Oscar nominations for the film (for writing, directing, and producing), with a fourth for editor Bill Butler.
