British TV Kubrick Promo Pays Homage to 'The Shining'
Saturday, July 5, 2008 at 11:02PM
Please do not make the mistake of thinking rival British TV outlets More 4 and BBC4
are the same thing. BBC 4 carries arts programming, documentaries, music,
international film and the like, while More 4 brings England arts programming,
documentaries, music, international film, and the like. I don't even know how
you could make that mistake, frankly.More 4 would
be a hub for Anglophiles here in the states, if, in fact, Rupert Murdoch's Sky
Digital shared its programming here in the U.S. Sadly, that's not the case. But
without going into too much detail - you can check out
their site for that - More 4 brings you the
good stuff. Beginning July 15th, they're running
Stanley Kubrick Season, a ten-day overview of
his brilliant career in film. And they're just giving us the good stuff, so no
Eyes Wide Shut here.
Instead, the season is devoted to documentaries about
Kubrick plus some of his greatest films. This is the promo for Stanley Kubrick
Season airing on More 4, a little tip of the cap to
The Shining I think you'll enjoy.
