Die-hard Kubrick fans alert!

Friday, May 28th, 2010

If you’re at a loss about what to do this bank holiday weekend, here’s an idea. The Electric Cinema Theatre on Portobello Road is holding a Stanley Kubrick all-nighter . Starting at 11pm, the event kicks off with Full Metal Jacket, followed by the cult classic A Clockwork Orange. Then there’ll be a break for breakfast (the bar will be serving drinks until 6am) before the entertainment continues with The Shining and 2001: A Space Odyssey. And the bonus is you still have all day Sunday and Monday to recover.

Is there such a thing as too much Kubrick? Would love to hear from anyone who attends.
