a view of our unknown

Rating: Null/10 (27 October 1999)

Eyes wide shut is deeply connected with some particular states of mind. In other movies Kubrick described fears, conditions and weaknesses of the human race, here it's not so different in fact the director shows the possibility of man (or woman) to follow the erotic pulsions in the modern society (that's because New York is so important). In the movie we recognize that the world of normality and the world of extreme pulsions are detached but not so far to let us forever outside. And so you find the most incredible miracle of Kubrick when the camera move itself from the streets of New York to the castle of perdition. A masterpiece.
