Kubrick's Swan Song

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2007)

Cruise and Kidman pay the ultimate respect to Kubrick's final work in 'Eyes Wide Shut' a deeply complex and compelling drama that explores marital mistrust, jealously, sexual tension and the potentially harmful effects of hidden truth between partners.
As usual Kubrick's work is subject to mis-comprehension and dismissal by casual viewers that are not prepared to think about the movie they are watching.
Eyes wide shut is littered with artistic imagery, dialogue and music score. It is fabulously cast - Cruise and Kidman really put in fine performances that are both emotional and powerful and Kubrick's direction is exceptional for one last time.
Vivid, brilliant and unforgettable 8/10
