A true masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2019)

The story follows a New York City doctor as he embarks on a night-long journey, after his wife reveals a painful secret to him, during which he infiltrates a massive masked orgy of an unnamed secret society.
The last movie of one of the greatest directors to have ever lived, Stanley Kubrick. This movie is a genuine cinematic masterpiece. The movie builds very slowly as Kubrick takes his time with every scene to show us each little detail he had in his mind. This is typical for a Kubrick movie to slowly but surely build suspense and other various feelings he wants to wake in us. But the scenes, however long they are, are stunning and gripping. The cinematography in this movie is one of the best ever in my opinion, the dialogue is, to me, brilliant, slow, but brilliant, the casting, I think, is perfect and the story is mesmerizing.
I have to say that this movie isn't for everybody and you shouldn't go watch this movie if you're sleepy or not fully invested in it. But for those who put themselves and almost 3 hours of their time into this movie will see the true genius of Stanley Kubrick.
