Review of Eyes Wide Shut (1999) by Jack O — 26 Nov 2018
Eyes Wide Shut is a work of high authority and one can see Kubrick's influence in each frame. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman play real life couple in high society New York(completely recreated on a London soundstage).
They are invited a party where sexual dealings and offerings are exchanged which leads to an altercations of sorts later at home. What follows is a ride into a rabbit hole by Cruise's character involving sex cults, orgies, identities and obsessions.
The film isn't as heavy handed as it appears and the pacing is very good. Worth a watch. (Already a classic? I think it is).
