Stanley Kubrick's best film

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2000)

If there is a movie which characterizes very well the essence of Kubrick's cinema, this movie is The Shining. Even though it is based on a Stephen King's novel, Kubrick took it to celluloid from his point of view, that is to say, adding and removing what he considered necessary. It was a good transcription. I was really apalled when I first see it when I was a child. I could feel being there, behind the boy's tricycle, flowing fearfully through the Overlook corridors.
