Dir. Stanley Kubrick. 1980. 114 mins. U.S. 4K DCP. With Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers, Danny Loyd. When The Shining was first released in 1980, most critics were generally baffled or negative, unable to understand Stanley Kubrick’s visionary approach to the horror genre, which prioritized deliberate pacing, deferred catharsis, and haunting abstract imagery. Today, we see, of course, that Kubrick was laying the groundwork for future generations of aspiring art-horror filmmakers. But in the moment, Kubrick responded to the critiques by editing a shorter version with less slack for the European market, a tinkered cut that he called “The Two-Hour Version.” Shining obsessive and Pixar animator Lee Unkrich—writer of the Taschen book Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining—notes that Kubrick’s long-time assistant Leon Vitali claimed this was Kubrick’s preferred cut. Decide for yourself in this rare opportunity to see the International Version on the big screen, followed by a screening of the original U.S. cut.
Tickets: $17.50 / $12 senior and students / $10 youth / $7 MoMI members. There is a $1.50 transaction fee per ticket for all online purchases. The cost of admission may be applied toward a same-day purchase of a membership.
Order tickets. Please pick up tickets at the Museum’s admissions desk upon arrival. All seating is general admission.
