EYES WIDE SHUT, 1999
UK, USA | HDD, Color, 159' | English
Director: Stanley Kubrick
Cast: Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Todd Field

Master director Stanley Kubrick’s last film before his untimely death, which he could not see on the cinema screens, Eyes Wide Shut focuses on a night filled with dreams, fantasies and nightmares of Bill and Alice, a long-time married couple. Signature Kubrick lighting, his idiosyncratic tracking shots and topics that he likes to focus on are all present in this final film by the director. Even well known New York streets take on an eerie air in this movie, and when Alice starts telling her husband about her fantasies about a man she met a year ago, Bill makes it his priority to chase his own erotic adventure. Bill will run into all kinds of twisted relationships, decay, betrayal and desire at a “party” where he must wear a costume and know the secret code to enter.
