Room 237

Room 237 is a documentary that presents five people who have spent a great deal of time scrutinizing every frame of Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of The Shining for hidden meaning. And oh what hidden meanings they’ve found.

Rodney Ascher's documentary follows Kubrick-obsessed fans as they discuss various conspiracy theories around his iconic film The Shining.

It's a big day for a young movie geek when s/he realizes that certain (or even most) movies work on "multiple levels." A 12-year-old film fanatic probably doesn't know what "subtext" means, but a smart kid only has to watch Pink Floyd: The Wall or A Clockwork Orange once or twice before realizing that there's a lot more going on than just the surface-level story.
