Kubrick's Ninth Symphony

Rating: Null/10 (17 July 1999)

This movie is brilliant. Kubrick plays with the camera using all the techniques he is known for. The opening act has Nicole Kidman dancing with an ultra suave gentleman; the camera seamlessly dances with them. Nearly every scene works to help the story, the best being one in which Tom Cruise finds himself at a private elitist orgy. The final scene is somewhat unnecessary, although the last word in the movie is fitting for a Kubrick film. Definitely worth seeing.
