Can anyone tell me what this movie was about?

Rating: 3/10 (7 May 2000)

I'm a huge fan of Stanley Kubrick but I'm totally mystified as to the reason he made this movie. What story was he telling? A man's odyssey into Soho after hours? I thought Griffen Dunn did a better job in "After Hours". At least that plot line was believable compared to this one. Was it some sort of subliminal sexual message? As pretty as the girls were, I wasn't moved. Go watch "Blue Velvet" if you want to be disturbed on a sexual level. Perhaps it's art, I don't know. I wasn't all that impressed with the cinematography. I put this movie up there with Professional Wrestling as one of those things I don't understand, but other people find entertaining.
