    Description

    Stanley Kubrick's legendary horror film turned 40 this year. Kubrick was an intellectual, Jewish, and “Talmudic” filmmaker. Of his films, The Shining is particularly Midrashic, Talmudic and Kabbalistic. In this session we shall explore some of those themes, as well as why it attracts such obsessive attention four decades later. No prior knowledge needed.
