Weak

Rating: 4/10 (13 March 2008)

Having just seen the great Documentary on Stanley Kubrick's Life ' Stanley Kubrick ,'A life in pictures',and realizing what a great and formidable Director this creative artist was , I realized i'd never seen Eyes Wide Shut.His last Film.So I sat myself down watching it.It was a Disappointment.At Someplace during the ongoing movie it looked to me as if someone was imitating a Stanley Kubrick Film.It was Kubrick himself.This is not a great creative work but a rather mediocre and middle of the road-ish piece of amusement.nothing more.some very corny scenes ,like the 'secret 'sex'offering at the strange house '..this was very childish and 'cheaply' executed...... Some scene set ups and lighting still had something of the detail-obsessed film maker Stanley was.Like the ever present Xmas lighting throughout the movie.Everywhere there is the combination of red,green and white Xmas lamps...creating a beatrangening Kubrickian effect. And of course the music worked fantastically in some scenes. Acting , characters and story where very meager though. The least-good Kubrick film i'v seen so far.
