Another stunning wonderful Kubrick film

Rating: 10/10 (2 August 1999)

Visually perfect work. Intiguing journey through a man's mind and his quest for ease. Kidman and most of cast excellant. Did anyone notice how similar Cruise's delivery was to Ryan O'Neal's in Barry Lyndon? Camera work superb - did Stanley operate the steadycam as well?.Sets wonderful, though the New York built street sets were not quite realistic, but perhaps that was intended. Because I was in N. America I saw the CGI censored version. I do not think it distracted from the film because it was quite obvious what was happening. But I object to someone deciding what I can or cannot see and sneakily hiding the fact that they have done so, and at the same time destroying the composition of a master. From what I know of my Godson (10 years old) and his friends, there would be nothing to surprise them were they to see the European version.
