”He put people through absolutely grim endurance tests” - The Shining: BFI Classics writer Prof. Roger Luckhurst on the film

We gathered here at the cinema after our screening of The Shining, as part of our Jack Nicholson season, with Professor Roger Luckhurst who wrote The Shining: BFI Film Classics. Roger shares with us gossip and tales from behind the scenes, tells us about the film's negative reception at the time and the differences with the novel and gives us some context to understand its place as part of the horror repertoire. 

Enjoy!
