It works in a different psychological spectrum, which leads to a different type of cinematic exercise. — Pablo Larraín
This week, join Kristen Stewart—who plays Princess Diana on a nightmarish country-house weekend with the royals—for Spencer screenings and Q & A’s. Included in the American Cinematheque series is a double bill with Kubrick’s The Shining—another film about a house of horror.
