Stanley Kubrick Retrospective
Here's Johnny, plus Alex and Spartacus, in a Kubrick retrospective at the iconic Astor Theatre.
Overview
Stanley Kubrick's cinematic work was made for the big screen. Whether it be the blockbuster Spartacus, painstakingly perfect A Clockwork Orange, or genre transforming 2001: A Space Odyssey, the grandeur, creativity, atmospheric scores and meticulous attention to detail that are the markers of his masterpieces demand the silver screen.
Thankfully whoever is calling the shots at the Astor Theatre agrees — the grandiose 1,150 seat theatre is showcasing a Stanley Kubrick Retrospective until Monday June 17, featuring the extended version of The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut, as well as the aforementioned classics. You can even take the kids along for a lesson in cinematography, with the G rated candle-lit classic Barry Lyndon screening on Saturday June 8.
Most of the films will be aired individually, but penny pinchers with long attention spans will appreciate the $16 double feature of A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket. Take your droogs or devotchka, grab some popcorn and get ready to yell "Here's Johnny!" or my personal favourite, "I'm Spartacus!".
