The Shining reminds us how far the cinema has come and how much it has stayed the same. It shines bits of an enigmatic film future which in the last image turns out to be a still from the past. There is no immutable order of experience when the past becomes a picture of what might have been.

The Shining is an iceberg that may in time prove to be one of the great Kubricks (with Paths of Glory, Lolita and Barry Lyndon), or may be the start of a whole new Kubrick.
Recensione di Eyes Wide Shut a cura di Sandro Bernardi. Pubblicata sulla rivista Drammaturgia, Luglio 2000
Stanley Kubrick’s potentially majestic myth about man’s first encounter with a higher life form than his own dwindles into a whimsical space operetta, then frantically inflates itself again for a surreal climax in which the imagery is just obscure enough to be annoying, just precise enough to be banal.

Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon special published by Italian magazine Cineforum n.160, December 1976
I doubt if there could be a grander looking film than Stanley Kubrick’s eagerly awaited three hour adaptation of Thackeray’s Barry Lyndon. Stop it at almost any point and you would have something ravishing to look at.
