Bizarre Odyssey About the Double Lives People Live

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2020)

If you are like me, you will watch this movie for the fact that it is a Stanley Kubrick film and the fact you heard about the weird orgy cult (which the movie does have). But there is so much more to the movie than just these things. It is a story of a journey into the insanity of nighttime and the bizarre lives others live without us even knowing. Then, it is about trying to get out of the rabbit hole after experiencing this.
This movie is built around atmosphere and is really not supposed to be realistic, but rather the isolation that covers the frame or the excess is supposed to give a feel for this strange world that the characters inhabit. The films high amount of sex is used more as a metaphor for the other parts of ourselves that we do not want the rest of the world to know about.
Kubrick's last gem to us all and it is necessary to watch, so don't keep your eyes wide shut to this film.
