Dramatic and Thrilling Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 1999)

"Eyes Wide Shut", is a haunting and chilling suspense masterpiece. This tale of jealousy and sexual desire is classic Kubrick at its best. The combination of music and imagery creates the film's dramatic flare and sets the stage for one of Cruise and Kidman's finest performances. Although one scene loses dramatic effect due to Hollywood's editing intervention, it still retains most of its effect leaving little lost. Sadly this was Stanley Kubrick's final film, but it certainly ranks among one of his finest creations ever.
