Review of Eyes Wide Shut (1999) by Jeffrey R — 22 Dec 2017
Kubrick left us with a very unsolved riddle here: where does a person go after they've been devastated by the one human being they thought loved them the most? Basically, if you watch closely enough, it appears Nicole Kidman's Alice character might be a little bi polar.
.. She's basically just toying with Tom Cruise's Bill through the whole story.... Perhaps then marriage itself is the big mystery of life? Who can say... Still my favorite movie set around Christmas time, even with all its dark, disturbing themes.
PS: the whole sex party sequence is the stuff of great cinema. It's a long mesmerizing trip the second Bill enters the house.
