Eyes Wide Shut

Stanley Kubrick's daring last film is many things. It is a compelling psychosexual journey. A haunting dreamscape. A riviting tale of suspense. A major milestone in the careers of stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. And a "worthy final chapter to a great director's career" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times).Cruise plays Dr. William Harford, who plunges into an erotic foray that threatens his marriage - and may even ensnare him in a lurid murder mystery - after his wife's (Kidman) admission of sexual longings. As the story sweeps from doubt and fear to self-discovery and reconcilation, Kubrick orchestrates it with masterful flourishes. Graceful tracking shots, controlled pacing, rich colors, startling images: bravura traits that make Kubrick a filmmaker for the ages are her to keep everyone's eyes wide open.
