The most unlikely heroine of a most peculiar, brutal and stunningly beautiful tragedy. As dominating and psychopathic as Jack Nicholson can be in The Shining, Shelley Duvall's character is the perfect compliment. A mousey weakness oozes out of this girl the entire film until shit hits the fan and suddenly she is thrown into survival mode.
There is something so delicious about the color in this film - one of the many reasons it is my all time favorite. The haunted Danny has a standout wardrobe, but I think Wendy takes the cake. At times its as if she has so many layers of clothes she might just keel over from the sheer weight over her twig arms. Regardless, I adore the retro colors, lumberjack prints and modest silhouettes.
