But do you have the password for the house?

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2004)

What can I say? This movie was Kubrick's final masterpiece. A brilliant and sensual tale of a young man's journey into the darkness of infidelity. Beautiful camera work and acting. Cruise and Kidman are perfect in their roles. Settings are top-notch, and the masked ball must be seen. I wanted more!
I know this movie got a bad wrap when it came out, but this was due mostly to the following: Improper presentation of the movie's theme in the movie trailers and the natural shallow nature of American audiences who were going there simply to see gratuitous sex scenes involving two major actors. As far as I'm concerned, this movie was perfect. It had atmosphere and mystery and taste; something often lacking in today's films.
