Taking its title from the room number in Stanley Kubrick’s legendary film The Shining, Room 237 is an investigation of Kubrick’s film by its serious fans. Incorporating analyses and comments by academicians as well as the film’s avid fans, the documentary claims that in addition to producing a masterpiece of suspense, Kubrick was also providing a variety of messages about the Holocaust during the Second World War and the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon. Room 237 shows how cinema can make everyone feel differently like magic.
