Review of The Shining (1980) by Jim D — 18 Mar 2014
Just so damned perfect! Gorgeously shot by Kubrick. One of the first 5 films shot with the Steadicam by the inventor of the Steadicam, Garrett Brown and the first using the low mode (to shoot inches from the ground).
The performances Kubrick gets from multiple takes from the actors is short of astonishing. The behind the scenes Making Of, directed by Vivian Kubrick, Stanley's daughter, is an excellent example of brilliant documentary film making as well.
So enjoyable to watch this directly after watching the full length film. The blu ray is reference quality and was a delight on the eyes!
