Vivian Kubrick’s extraordinary 35-minute documentary about the making of her father’s film, The Shining, has many wonderful moments:

– her dad setting up a low-angle shot on Nicholson
– or his correcting Duvall’s performance,
– or the great Garrett Brown doing a Steadicam shot.

A rare document by someone with almost total access to a very reclusive director.
Not bad for a 17-year old filmmaker.

The Shining, if not Kubrick’s best film, is his most perfect one.
