A masterpiece of cinematic history!

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2018)

Eyes Wide Shut came out in the Summer of 1999 and was directed by my favourite director of all time, Stanley Kubrick, who sadly died a week after the film's final cut was shown. The film follows Bill and Alice Harford who seem like a typical New York wealthy and happy family with their 7 year old daughter but when Alice reveals a secret about a sexual encounter with a man from last summer, Bill then goes to get fair on his wife by also sleeping with someone and after everything fails, Bill then is recommended by his friend to go to a building outside NYC only to discover the great danger he's in and how it can affect his family and friends. Eyes Wide Shut deserves more attention because it truly is a masterpiece in cinematic history, why? The film is art, it's so beautiful, can we all just look at that amazing ritual scene in the film, that scene was basically a painting, literally, A PAINTING!! The performances are so loveable but I haft to say, Kidman goes way over Cruise, I really wished she was in the film more which was probably just my little glitch with it but I truly did not mind that, she was just better than Tom Cruise, no affence! There arent really any other characters except for a few who pop in and out like the costume shop man and his daughter and people like that. My favourite part of the film, like many's obviously was the mansion scene, it was just because it was so beautiful and mysterious and so well acted by Cruise. Eyes Wide Shut deserves more praise then 74% on Rotten Tomatoes!
