Visually, this was absolutely stunning - one could write essays on its visual design, cinematography & camera work. Even its sense of mood was quite amazing. And what can one say of Nicholson - he's one of my favourite actors of all-time.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-11437555870200679302012-11-12T05:16:00.225+05:302012-11-12T05:16:00.225+05:30A brilliant psychological horror film indeed, and ...A brilliant psychological horror film indeed, and one in the Kubrick pantheon that continues to gain in reputation. A few even go as far as to have it at or near the top of his output. Dazzling filmmaking, some striking set pieces (the maze, the freezer entrapment, the eerie snowstorm) and a film one could watch over and over. it's extremely popular in my house. Nicholson is chilling, and the others including Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers. and Danny Lloyd are superb. A Halloween favorite, but so much more than that.<br /><br />Extraordinary piece Shubhajit!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
