Review of Eyes Wide Shut (1999) by Nelson M — 06 Jul 2012
As a last film, this is one of Kubrick's best and most underrated work, well except for maybe Barry Lyndon. Kubrick's exploration of the psyche and sex in general is impressive on many different levels.
This is the kind of film you need to watch a few times before you really understand what it is you've just watched. The sets are some of the most impressive made and the story is air tight in just how good it is.
Compared to some of his other films, this feels like Kubrick's companion peice to The Shining. There is an air of horror and suspense but it isn't like any other film made, similar to The Shining.
Eyes Wide Shut is a thrilling suspense and exploration of sex and relationships, and one of the most horrifying films Kubrick films has produced.
