Rodney Ascher‘s documentary
Room 237, which explores some of the deeper theories and ideas found in
Stanley Kubrick's brilliant psychological thriller
The Shining.
Ascher's feature debut, the 102-minute documentary deconstructs hidden meanings in Kubrick's adaptation of
Stephen King's horror novel of the same name.
Structured in nine parts, Room 237 makes several analyses of multiple scenes and moments, which have puzzled audiences for years. In addition to using original footage, Ascher appropriates clips from numerous films including Kubrick's works, cartoons, and newsreels.

Synopsis:
A subjective documentary that explores the numerous theories about the hidden meanings within Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining (1980). The film may be over 30 years old, but it continues to inspire debate, speculation, and mystery. Five very different points of view are illuminated through voice-over, film clips, animation, and dramatic reenactments. Together they'll draw the audience into a new maze, one with endless detours and dead ends, many ways in, but no way out.
