Let's make it a trifecta, with three "Matchbook Art" posts in a row.
This one is my favourite.
An iconic scene captured from the 1980 movie "The Shining" directed by cinematic legend Stanley Kubrick and based on Steven King's 1977 novel.
As a side note, King did not like the direction Kubrick took with the movie and it has been a sore point with him for years. But that's another story.
I regard Stanley Kubrick as being one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, but I think he may have been a bit of a perfectionist because the movie is in the Guinness Book of Records for the most retakes of a single scene with Shelly Duvall. (127 takes)
There was in fact a "method to his madness" and it is reported that he routinely would do as much as 30 takes per scene, but that's another story too.
