MHV #253: THE SHINING FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS

Tonight we get very conceptual! A “Dark Side of the Rainbow” for the 21st century, THE SHINING FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS is a hallucinatory, palindromic brainbomb resulting from musician John Fell Ryan’s literal interpretation of a fellow obsessive’s statement that “THE SHINING is a film meant to be watched both forwards and backwards.” This structural found-footage epic riffs on Kubrick use of doubles, symmetrical compositions and enigmatic suggestions of non-linear time, creating unexpectedly profound moments at nearly every turn.
