Virtual Seminar: The Shining

Virtual Seminar: The Shining

Presented by Coolidge Corner Theatre at Online/Virtual Space

In one of Stanley Kubrick’s most iconic films, the Torrance family—Jack (Jack Nicholson), Wendy (Shelley Duvall), and Danny (Danny Lloyd)—become haunted by an evil menace while isolated for the winter season in the glorious Overlook Hotel.

Stanley Kubrick co-adapted this script from the Stephen King novel, and turned the story of the Torrance family into one of the most chilling and masterful horror films of all time, melding vivid performances, menacing settings, dreamlike tracking shots, and shock after shock into a milestone of the macabre.

Bilge Ebiri is a film critic and editor at New York Magazine and Vulture. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, the Village Voice, Rolling Stone, and on the Criterion Collection, among other places.
