Classic Kubrick

Rating: 9/10 (29 March 2000)

Eyes Wide Shut is classic Kubrick. If you don't get Kubrick, you'll hate it, if you do get Kubrick you'll like it. It's as simple as that. The plot is incidental to the journey he takes you on within your own psyche (this time exploring the nature of sexual attraction). Tom and Nicole do a fine job, the cinematography is terrific, and the atmosphere of the film is all-enveloping. A cinematic treat which I rate an 8 out of 10 stars ********
