This **definitive compendium of the film** features **hundreds of photographs**, **rare production ephemera**, and **extensive interviews** with the cast and crew. Hardcover, two vols. in slipcase, 7\.9 x 8.7 in., 8\.35 lb, 1396 pages 4 Ratings [View Ratings and Reviews](https://www.taschen.com/en/books/film/08085/stanley-kubrick-s-the-shining/#reviews) “A two-volume compendium of almost 1,400 pages sheds new light on the film – and reveals the last secrets of the film... The book changes everything!” Bild am Sonntag “To be precise, it is 869 pages in which Kubrick specialist Rinzler and his editor, Hollywood director Lee Unkrich, cover everything. Starting with the book on which it is based, through the filming, to the most adventurous interpretations decades after its release. The texts are easy to read, and there is also a second, almost equally thick volume in the slipcase containing hundreds of photos, some of which have never been published before.” Neue Zürcher Zeitung “TASCHEN has published an extensive masterpiece in honor of the film: This monumental work is not only a visual delight, but also documents in detail the creation and significance of *The Shining*.” dpa “A dizzying plunge into the world of a cult film that marked many generations.” La Liberté “One doesn't come across an ultimate making-of like this every day.” Première “This sumptuous volume reveals everything, absolutely everything, about ‘The Shining.’” La Repubblica “A journey through time.” Vogue “Land of milk and honey: now, in two stunning volumes, Oscar-winning American director Lee Unkrich, together with film historian J. W. Rinzler, has reconstructed the history of the filming.” Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung “Anyone who wants to know everything about Kubrick's film *The Shining* and how it came about will find it in these magnificent volumes. Here, too, horror is guaranteed.” Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung “TASCHEN is dedicating one of its voluminous works of art to *Shining*: this epic is not only a feast for the eyes, but also meticulously traces the creation and significance of the film using texts and numerous images. You can completely disappear in it.” Der Spiegel “Drawing on a trove of interviews and images, this two-volume edition is for the serious film buff or Kubrick aficionado.” The Boston Globe “To me, it read like a thriller. It’s an extraordinary document, and something that I think any creative person would view as an absolute necessity. It’s a stunning achievement.” Steven Soderbergh  Stanley Kubrick's The Shining € 125 Add to Cart Read more The World’s Scariest Movie The making of Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece of modern horror “*The Shining* may be the first movie that ever made its audience jump with a title that simply says, ‘Tuesday,’” proclaimed *The New York Times*. Never has a film evoked so much dread in its audience with so little gore than [Stanley Kubrick](https://www.taschen.com/en/collection/stanley-kubrick/)’s adaptation of the 1977 novel by the master of terror himself, Stephen King, where true horror lies in the darkest corners of domesticity and isolation. Equally a study of the **intricate mechanics of Kubrick’s genius** as an **in-depth look at the making of a visual masterpiece**, *[Stanley Kubrick](https://www.taschen.com/en/collection/stanley-kubrick/)’s The Shining* gathers **hundreds of hours of exclusive new interviews with the cast and crew** in an unprecedented look at the 1980 cult classic. Slip in through the back door of The Overlook Hotel to witness Kubrick’s endless rounds of script rewrites, his revolutionary use of the Steadicam, the mechanics behind the infamous blood elevator, the mysterious mid-filming fire at Elstree Studios, and the countless takes needed to satisfy the meticulous force that was Kubrick. Conceived and edited by **Academy Award-winning director Lee Unkrich**, dubbed by *The Hollywood Reporter* as “the world's foremost *Shining* aficionado,” with text by **best-selling author J.W. Rinzler** and a **foreword by Steven Spielberg**, this is the definitive compendium of the film that transformed the horror genre. The two-volume collection designed by M/M Paris includes hundreds of never-before-seen production photographs from the [Stanley Kubrick](https://www.taschen.com/en/collection/stanley-kubrick/) Archive and the personal collections of cast and crew, rare documents and correspondence, conceptual art, an exclusive look at deleted scenes, and more.

I had "The Shining" on pre-order in anticipation of the fantastic job Taschen does with their books and was not disappointed. Words cannot fully describe the depth of information and the amount of photographs contained in.the book. If one is a serious fan of Kubrick's work, they will be pleased to own a copy of this book. ## A labyrinthine case study Alessandro F.,January 24, 2025 A labyrinthine and all-encompassing literary re-enactment of the conception, gestation and outcome of the unique Kubrick's take on horror cinema. Designed as the red guide on hotels (or maybe the Jung's Red Book) placed on the Overlook manager Ullman's desk and the scrapbook found by Jack Torrance, the thickly compact volumes (a substantial distillation of the sturdier 2023 limited edition) do not only conjure two mysterious props, but together configure an engaging case study about the phenomenon of movie-making as a style of life and thinking. An addictive illustrated detective-story both casual readers and movie-buffs will be lured back into again and again, or, better to say, "forever and ever and ever". ## Incredible edition for the Kubrickians Domingo P.,January 17, 2025 Incredible editions for Kubrick fans with a book dedicated to photographs of the filming, many of them unpublished, and another book dedicated to the gestation of the script to the screen, including post-production and exhibition, with juicy anecdotes and deleted scenes. A gem, although the original script of The Shining is missing to complete this collection in a dignified manner. ## The Best of a Kubrick's movie Olivier F.,January 12, 2025 Wonderful, 1 book with pictural and 1 book about the story. Never seen such an achievement. ## Discover more [ ‘Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining’ at Beverly Hills An exclusive preview and book signing with Lee Unkrich](https://www.taschen.com/en/about-us/events/stanley-kubrick-the-shining-at-taschen-beverly-hills/) [ Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining Discover the Limited Edition book compendium](https://www.taschen.com/en/about-us/blog/video-stanley-kubricks-the-shining/) [ ‘Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining’ at Kubrick Family Estate Preview of the Collector’s Edition](https://www.taschen.com/en/about-us/events/stanley-kubrick-the-shining-at-kubrick-family-estate/) ## You may also like [](https://www.taschen.com/en/books/film/44804/the-stanley-kubrick-archives/) ### [**The Stanley Kubrick Archives**](https://www.taschen.com/en/books/film/44804/the-stanley-kubrick-archives/) € 100 Add to Cart [](https://www.taschen.com/en/books/film/48006/the-making-of-stanley-kubrick-s-2001-a-space-odyssey/) XL ### [**The Making of Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey'**](https://www.taschen.com/en/books/film/48006/the-making-of-stanley-kubrick-s-2001-a-space-odyssey/) € 80 [](https://www.taschen.com/en/books/film/49346/horror-cinema/) ### [**Horror Cinema**](https://www.taschen.com/en/books/film/49346/horror-cinema/) € 25 Add to Cart [](https://www.taschen.com/en/books/film/45445/100-all-time-favorite-movies-of-the-20th-century/) ### [**100 All-Time Favorite Movies** of the 20th Century](https://www.taschen.com/en/books/film/45445/100-all-time-favorite-movies-of-the-20th-century/) € 25 Add to Cart #### Connect [Partner With Us](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/partner-with-us/)[Corporate Contacts](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/contact/)[Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/taschen/)[Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/taschen/)[Newsletter](https://www.taschen.com/en/newsletter/)[TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@taschen/)[Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/TASCHEN/) #### Company [Accessibility](https://www.taschen.com/en/webcontentaccessibility/)[Careers](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/careers/)[General Terms and Conditions](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/general-terms-and-conditions/)[Glossary](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/glossary/)[Imprint](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/imprint/)[Privacy Policy](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/privacy-policy/)[Project Proposals](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/project-proposals/) #### Customer Information Chat [Customer Service](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/customer-service/)[Shipping & Returns](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/shipping-and-returns/)[Track Your Order](https://www.taschen.com/en/track-your-order)[Become a TASCHEN Reseller](https://www.taschen.com/en/b2b/client-registration-reseller/)[Corporate Deals](https://www.taschen.com/en/b2b/client-registration-corporate-gifting/)[B2B Shop Access](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/b2b-login-page/) #### Sign up for our newsletter: Connect [Partner With Us](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/partner-with-us/)[Corporate Contacts](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/contact/)[Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/taschen/)[Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/taschen/)[Newsletter](https://www.taschen.com/en/newsletter/)[TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@taschen/)[Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/TASCHEN/) Company [Accessibility](https://www.taschen.com/en/webcontentaccessibility/)[Careers](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/careers/)[General Terms and Conditions](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/general-terms-and-conditions/)[Glossary](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/glossary/)[Imprint](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/imprint/)[Privacy Policy](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/privacy-policy/)[Project Proposals](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/project-proposals/) Customer Information [Customer Service](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/customer-service/)[Shipping & Returns](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/shipping-and-returns/)[Track Your Order](https://www.taschen.com/en/track-your-order)[Become a TASCHEN Reseller](https://www.taschen.com/en/b2b/client-registration-reseller/)[Corporate Deals](https://www.taschen.com/en/b2b/client-registration-corporate-gifting/)[B2B Shop Access](https://www.taschen.com/en/company/b2b-login-page/) Chat Sign up for our newsletter: #### Sign up for our newsletter: [](https://www.taschen.com/)© 2026 – TASCHEN GmbH, Hohenzollernring 53, D–50672 Cologne
