"I don't know why I love this picture....but I do!"

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2001)

I truly believe upon watching this film, that the people who have criticised it were disappointed because like in most Kubrick films there is a moral, albeit a hidden and twisted moral in his cinematic masteries. I think the wonder of "Eyes Wide Shut" is that there is no hidden meaning, no metaphor and there is certainly no moralistic hint. It is there to simply stun and to be seen as Bizarre (to an extent it does this) but for some reason, the atmosphere and a lot of the dialogue just pulled me into it's deep and disturbing void. There is no over-acting, no big speeches, no shouting, and no overly-flamboyant violence. It is like a steamboat on a river moving at a slow pace, and almost suceeds in glamourising the illicit sexual misdemeanours occuring in society. But still i don't know why but 10 out of ten, top marks!!!!!
