Worst Kubrick movie and one of the worst in general.

Rating: Null/10 (22 September 2000)

I don't know what he (Kubrick)was thinking, but this is one boring movie. I liked everything he has done except this one. Almost four hours of nothing, no plot, no mystery, no acting and no real closure. One person here says it's a dream he (Cruse) is having, but when does he enter "dreamland?" The only visually good part is the masked party (not the nudity, but the costumes and mannerisms) and that is not much. I even liked "The English Patient" better. That was a movie that is visually rich and a story that keeps you watching despite its length. My synopsis of this film is the hypocrisy of men and how they feel it's OK to cheat, but if their wives do, it's not all right. I can't recommend this one. The nudity was gratuitous and I felt I was watching soft-porn.
I want my four hours of life back!!! ;-}
