One of the most fascinating films from the late Stanley Kubrick.

Rating: 9/10 (26 August 2005)

Dr. William Harford (Tom Cruise), a New Yorker who goes out one fateful winter night into an erotic foray that threatens his marriage. Dr. Harford may even bring him in a bizarre murder mystery. After his wife (Cruise's ex-wife and Oscar-Winner:Nicole Kidman) admits her sexual longings. Dr. Harford goes from doubt, fear to self-discovery and reconciliation.
Directed by the late-Stanley Kubrick (2001:A Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket, The Shining) made his last film. The film is long and flawed but better than some of his previous film. The movie is vivid and unforgettable. Cruise and Kidman are excellent. The film has an sharp supporting cast like Filmmaker:Sydney Pollack, Marie Richardson, Todd Field, Thomas Gibson, Vanessa Shaw, Rade Sherbedgia, Leelee Sobieski, Alan Cummuing & Fay Masterson.
DVD has an sharp Pan & Scan (1.33:1) transfer and an fine-Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD has the theatrical trailer and interviews with Cruise, Kidman and Oscar-Winner Filmmaker:Steven Spielberg. The film is about the world of sexual adventure for one night for Cruise's character. This is a provocative film with Kubrick's unique environment. The film is contained and claustrophobic at times but never boring. One of the best films of 1999. Based on a novel titled "Tramnoville" by Arthur Schnitzler. Screenplay by the director and Frederic Raphael. (**** ½/*****).
