Provocative...Intriguing...Kubrick!!

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 1999)

Exactly what to expect from the genius vision of the late Stanley Kubrick. From beginning to end, the viewer is drawn into the intriguing situations that this couple experiences. Beautifully shot. Masterfully narrated. EWS takes us on a wild, sensual, thrill ride that is sure to leave its' viewers pondering their own fantasies/dreams/fidelity. In updating Schnitzler's Traumnovelle, we delve into the world of the Aristocracy's carnal, forbidden pleasures. Although it's up front subject matter will scare off the tepid, it leads the more "experienced" film audience down a wonderfully interwoven tale of what might happen if we were to wander off the beaten path..
