A terrific coda to a terrific career for Kubrick.

Rating: 10/10 (16 July 1999)

Stanley Kubrick has left us with a masterpiece as his parting shot. I thought this was his best film since A Clockwork Orange. This is not a sex flick, as has been pushed in the press. The sex is not erotic. It has a bizarre, at times border line violent, nature. I got the feeling after seeing it that much of the crowd was dissatisfied. I would definitely recommend a viewer be somewhat familiar with Kubrick before viewing. Or, at least, go in with an open mind.
