Room 237

About the movie

Many cult movies have their own radical interpretations but none as rich and far-ranging as Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. In Room 237, we hear from people who believed they have decoded the far-reaching theories, hidden symbols and messages buried in the late director's film. Carefully examining The Shining forwards and backwards, Room 237 is equal parts captivating, provocative and pure pleasure. A must see for all movie buffs.
Among the interwiewees talking about their theories and decodings of The Shining is the veteran ABC correspondent Bill Blakemore, professor of history and author Geoffrey Cocks, playwright Juli Kearns and renowned author, filmmaker and hermetic scholar Jay Weidner. Room 237 premiered to great acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival and showed at the Directors Fortnight at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
