Kubrik has done it again!

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2000)

Kubrik has done it again! Despite the fact that some people call this movie disgusting and weird, I would just have to say that they haven't reached the level of maturity in movie viewing to be able to see Stanley Kubrik's genius. Not only is this film strong in conveying an interesting point but it is also highly entertaining to watch. Like all of Kubrik's films, Eyes Wide Shut opens the door to a new universe of understanding a subject, which in this case is sex. Every moment of the movie is filled with colorful themes that branch from that one part of our mentality concerned with love, affection, and last but not least lust. Kubrik presents the viewer with a variety of different sexual preferences and in the background shows how people, sometimes unknowingly, exhibit them through their behavior. At this point it should be mentioned that if you are viewer who is concerned about stuff like strong sexual content, nudity, etc., you should make an exception to see this movie in any case. Because although the MPAA does describe Eyes Wide Shut with these exact words, Kubrik simply used theses themes to deliver a more direct and powerful message (in which he highly succeeded). So in conclusion I highly recommend that you see this film, because it's one that you don't want to miss.
