Film Eyes Wide Shut [new] -

Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut is not a film about a secret society. It is a film about the secret society of the self. We peer through keyholes, we don masks, we walk through lavish parties and squalid backrooms, convinced we are on the verge of a great truth. But the final revelation is that the truth is boring, frightening, and intimate: our eyes are always shut to the desires of others, and the only way to live is to stop trying to open them and simply reach out. It is a cold, brilliant, and strangely generous farewell from a director who spent his entire career telling us that what we see is never the whole story.

Released in 1999, Eyes Wide Shut stands as the haunting final word of Stanley Kubrick, one of cinema's most meticulous auteurs. Starring then-real-life couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, the film is a psychosexual journey that blurs the lines between reality and dream, intimacy and alienation.
