#1 Film of 1999 Without A Doubt!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2000)

Wake up! And open your eyes wide open! And go see "Eyes Wide Shut." Why you say? Because without a doubt, Director Stanley Kubrick's final masterpiece is one of the best films of all time. I know many close-minded moviegoers who have gone see the film are probably telling me to keep my mouth wide shut. Yea! I know! It is not for the usual bubble gum movie fan. But if you are into craftsmanship, creativeness, visuals, design, and symbolism in moviemaking then this is the film for you. The film is about a successful New York couple who display their passions and jealousies through erotic dreams and voyeuristic adventures. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman deliver Oscar-worthy performances. Also, co-star Sydney Pollack stands firm with his too. This Kubrick masterpiece contains the most mesmerizing scene of the year. It will definitely excite you in more ways than one! The elegant but sometimes mysterious music in the film is one of its best assets. Director Stanley Kubrick has definitely saved his best for last! The light should have been shining on him at Oscar time when the Best Director winner was announced. You will do a very bad, bad thing if you don't check out "Eyes Wide Shut." ***** Excellent
