Defects Casual Viewers...Endears Others

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2012)

The Director's final Film is a contemplative Meditation on Monogamy. Disturbing, Unsettling, and Fascinating. Not for everyone and its Entertainment value is a matter of Personal taste. Meticulous Movie making that uses the Medium as Art and constructs a Cinema of Communication.
Extremely Slow in its Pacing and its Dreamlike celluloid Paintings can defect casual viewers but endear Lovers of the Eccentric. Kubrick's Career is nothing if not Controversial and Confrontational and this Curtain Call does nothing to dispel His Reputation for Not Selling Out even as his Brilliant, Uncompromising Life is about to give out.
The sometimes Surreal Setting involves Secret Societies and Occult manipulation. A fitting Far Out Fling into the always Personal subject of Sex, Love and Flirtatious forays that define the Human Procreative Condition.
