Rating: 9/10 (9 October 2011)

Eyes Wide Shut is a erotic thriller that was directed, produced and written by Stanley Kubrick.It was based upon the novella Traumnovelle by Arthur Schnitzler.It stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.
The story follows the sexually-charged adventures of Dr. Bill Harford (Cruise), who is shocked when his wife, Alice (Kidman), reveals that she had contemplated having an affair a year ago. He embarks on a night-long adventure, during which he manages to infiltrate a massive masked orgy of an underground cult.This sets him off into unfulfilled encounters with a dead patient's daughter and a prostitute.However, he quickly learns he is in well over his head and finds he and his family are threatened.
The movie is the best film that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman had together to date.They portrayed the Harford couple very well.Their chemistry was great unlike their previous film like Days Of Thunder and Far And Away.Aside from that,the screenplay as it reaches to your emotions and into your deep thoughts.Watching this movie,it allows the viewer to undergo self-introspection in terms of our own sexuality and humanity.The direction of Stanley Kubrick was commendable as well. After watching his last film,he will surely be missed by the fans and movie industry.
