A masterpiece, fitting of being Kubrick's last gift to society

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 1999)

The lighting and cinematography was indeed perfection if not above it! Now I understand why Kubrick redid takes 60-70 times. Each shot is as beautiful and well put together as a painting. And the ritual orgy is an amazing, haunting, and utterly classic sequence. When the leader carries the staff and the insence, and sends the masked women off, and that eerie chanting is heard... it sent shivers down my spine. This is a film about the nature of human sexuality, and the nature of relationships and marriage... it made me look at mankind's sexual inherency.... a work of art
