Fear and desire "Eyes Wide Shut"

Rating: 9/10 (17 July 1999)

Kubrick is dead and this is his last movie, but that is not the only reason that fans should flock to this masterpiece. After waiting over and hour in an empty theatre for "Eyes" to open, I melted to the seat as the film started in a most Kubriesque fashion, that is to say, without a solid beginning. Nor did the film have a definite middle or predictable end. It is true that fans will take in more of this film than your average couple who are interested in seeing "Tommy's butt", but anyone who understands film should see it, if not only to deconstruct the final piece of modern art in this millienia.
