Stanley Kubrick shoots a mirror self-portrait with his daughter Vivian on the set of The Shining, his most perfect film, if not his best one.

Kubrick worked as a professional photographer in his youth.
It’s telling to see him blur out everything (including the movie star) except for himself, his daughter Vivian and the Arri BL camera.

Documentary of Kubrick’s THE SHINING

BenjaminB — Tue, 02 Jul 2013 19:54:40 +0000

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.
