Review of Eyes Wide Shut (1999) by Mohamed A — 01 Apr 2013

An underrated piece of work by one of the finest filmmakers ,as Eyes Wide Shut is my 2nd favorite kubrick film it is a brilliant masterpiece, from the very opening of the film to its very end. Kubrick succeeds in what many good filmmakers failed before him- and conveys a beautiful imagery of our state of dreams, full of sexual symbolism and other dream-like symbols (notice the stop signs in the streets in front of Tom Cruise), and creates a feeling of total wandering; although consistent, due to the fact that every scene and dialogue is vital and neccecary for the film's development.
