Fascinating and visually stunning

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2000)

I read many bad reviews before seeing this movie, but I had to see it because of the simple fact that it is a Stanley Kubrick movie. First of all, it should go without saying that the movie was visually stunning. The contrasts of the reds/oranges and deep blues were noticeable throughout the entire movie. Sets were "perfect". My real surprise came when I found myself involved and interested in the story. I think that the 10 minute segment when Nicole smoked the joint and didn't get exactly happy was one of the most dead-on accurate portrayals of how married life can be, the scene was absolutely fabulous. Strange plot, but, what else is new?
