Room 237

An in-depth analysis (and theorization) of the 1982 horror classic "THE SHINING". Anyone who has an understanding and appreciation for Stanley Kubrick's work will not only be entertained, but also fascinated. This documentary that strictly focuses on the perceived meanings can probably only be enjoyed by someone familiar with the film in question as well as an open-mindedness that understands interpretation isn't always limited to the intention of the creator. Whether or not you are completely wrapped around the things discussed in the film, or if you find it completely gibberish, it's hard to deny the appeal of digging through all the layers Kubrick left behind. The film is told entirely through voice-over, a style that's somewhat reminiscent of 2009's THE BILL HICKS STORY… and it works.
