Eyes Wide Shut (DVD 2000)
12 of 12 people found this review helpful.
Director Stanley Kubrick's last silver-screen odyssey dishes up a chillingly distant examination of carnal desire and obsession. A rhubarb about fidelity with his wife, Alice (Nicole Kidman), sends Dr. Bill Hartford (Tom Cruise) reeling into the Manhattan night. He soon finds himself in a surreal succession of sexually charged encounters, capped off by a clandestine visit to an upper-crust orgy where what he witnesses could get him snuffed.

Eyes Wide ShutAn opulent visual symphony on the universally potent theme of sexual jealousy: an experience few admit to but which only the living dead have not suffered. Enjoy the luscious New York interiors; the magisterial shot making of Kubrick, the sheer breathless beauty of Kidman, and a delicious curdling cameo by Alan Cumming. Oh yes - Tom Cruise is in it too.
Currently unpopular with a certain type of self conscious critic, appreciation of this film will grow over time; a fate common to all of Kubrick's films. This is a film to luxuriate in.

Interesting entertainmentReview created: 05/07/06

I bought this film after reading the Da Vinci Code, and Dan Brown's reference to it, so i thought i'd buy it cheap and find out what it was like.
First time i watched it, a little confused and (blush blush) shocked, but enjoyed it never the less. Second time i watched it i understood it a little better.
It's a good film if you want something a bit different and a glance into the world a cults and their practices. I like how it explores the marriage relationship and the ending is hopeful.
Overall, a steady 4/5.

Eyes Wide Shut - DisappointingReview created: 02/07/06

Had heard lots about this film and being a fan of Stanley Kubrick thought it was about time I watched it. This film could have been much more interesting, but instead it tells a very short story in a very long time. The acting wasn't great but there are a few good scenes. Overall - disappointing.
