| I first heard about Eyes Wide Shut in March 1996. I had been an admirer
of Stanley Kubrick for twenty years, and in that time had only twice
been able to experience a new Kubrick release, so it was good to hear of
a new film starting production. It was...more |

| After 12 years, Stanley Kubrick finally directed his last feature, dieing
right after the production was completed. He never got the chance to witness
the audience react to one of his greatest achievements.

| Stanley Kubricks last film, Eyes Wide Shut is a odd drama which could turn
into a unlikely money maker due to the presence of Tom Cruise and Nicole
Kidman. The two play married couple Bill and Alice Harford. During a pot

| Cerebral, brooding and darkly comic, Stanley Kubrick's swansong, like
his greatest films, requires multiple viewings before a full
