- Two different interpretations, 'apparitionist? and ?non-apparitionist? : The Shining is a typical ghost story and a pragmatic thriller at the same time
- Kubrick's own definition of the fantastic mode, reuniting the two theses through the so-called principle of uncertainty
Résumé :
By choosing to produce The shining, Stephen King's masterpiece, in 1980, Stanley Kubrick tackled one of the most bounded and codified cinematographic genres: the fantastic mode. Indeed, Kubrick produced the film just after the relative failure of Barry Lyndon, and this time, it was a huge success. The shining was released in 1980, after 11 months of tiring and intense shooting. Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance offers a masterly composition, which will certainly go down in the history of the fantastic film. Shelley Duvall as the mother and Danny Lloyd as the "shining" child are also very convincing, and it was said that the young boy managed to act the way he did without even knowing he was playing one of the leading roles in a horror movie! The shining also left its mark on everyone thanks to its fantastically shot scenes: Kubrick used the Steadicam in order to shoot most of his scenes from a particular angle of vision. Danny's wanderings through the corridors of the Overlook Hotel, for instance, were shot from a camera put on his shoulder. This process helped The shining to stand as a landmark in the history of the movie industry. All those features contributed to the success of the film, but someone did not really approve of Kubrick's interpretation of the story.
