Fascination with carefully planted details

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 1999)

It's a brilliant film and left me utterly fascinated. I'm going to see it again to make sure I take in more of the details that Kubrick so carefully arranged. Notice how he gives us a clue to the identity of the Mystery Woman. Kubrick masks her face and frames her so that we can recognize her by the outstanding profile of her bare breast, which was shown from the same angle in an earlier scene. I don't think this idea has ever been tried before. A true original!
