Very happy to see that filmmaking is still alive...

Rating: Null/10 (16 July 1999)

I must say that i enjoyed this movie immensely. I saw it in a local theatre crammed with enthusiastic people and i went with a few kubrick critics. They remarked on the lighting, cinematography, the acting, and the dialogue. But as i watched i found that it was interesting to watch, a fascinating film. Colors dominate the scenes, the stop down camera work, the over bright shots. The plot was just downright weird.
Bill (cruise), a doctor, and Alice (kidman), a former art gallery curator (?), Harford live in New York and have a kid. They appear to be pretty good at this. Then they go to a party and their perceptions regarding their relationship and love are tested when Alice reveals an encounter (purely non physical) to her husband. This leads Bill on an odyssey of self discovery (haha couldn't help it). But in the end, well you just have to see it.
i had a great time, i enjoyed the story, kubrick made this real interesting. If you liked clockwork you will probably enjoy this, of course that's just my opinion. The acting is really quite good, however, some of the dialogue was a bit repetitive (literally). The movie is a bit long but that was easily the fastest 159 minutes of my life and Eyes Wide Shut has a lot in it so pay attention...thanks.
NOTE: There is a digitally altered scene in the movie to prevent US audiences from seeing graphic material, the UK and other country versions do NOT contain these alterations.
