A last tip of the hat to the master.

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 1999)

Stanley Kubrick's last film, Eyes Wide Shut, is simply one of the most amazing films I have ever seen. Although the film was in production and shooting for well over two years, the wait has been more than worth it. The master of cinematic atmosphere, Kubrick explores jealousy and sex in Eyes Wide Shut. I have heard that there is both a R-rated and NC-17 rated version, either way the version I saw was powerful and hypnotic. The imagery in this film will be with you for a long time after viewing, and the score is very eerie. Kubrick knows more than any other director how to manipulate an audience, his films are always thought provoking and this film is no exception. The underground sex party is one of the strangest cinematic experiences I have had the pleasure to witness in a very long time. Kubrick was the greatest director ever and this film shows he was never afraid to explore the dark side of the human race. The best film of the decade. You will be missed Mr. Kubrick.
