(Stanley Kubrick, UK/US 1980, 144 min., 35mm)

Museum Treasures | Brand-New 35mm Print! Seeking inspiration and relaxation, troubled writer Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) accepts a job as wintertime caretaker for a hotel in Colorado. Soon, a case of cabin fever spells trouble for Jack’s wife (Shelley Duvall) and psychic young son (Danny Lloyd). The visuals in Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novel have always shocked audiences, and will never look better than in the gorgeous new 35mm print that the George Eastman Museum acquired recently.

Also Showing: Sunday, April 23, 2 p.m.
