For Stanley Kubrick
this movie was 2 years in the making. 2 days after he finished
making it he died and here it is Eyes Wide Shut.
Starring husband and wife couple
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman this is not what you would class as
mainstream, but more an art house flick.
Cruise plays Dr. William Hartford a
man with a comfortable life and a beautiful wife. One night after
attending a party with her they get on the wacky tobaccy and she
reveals a secret about herself that make him totally jealous and
sends him out on journey through all the sick and seedy places New
York has to offer, Prostitutes, Orgy's and the like.
After one incident a woman he knows
ends up dead and now intense guilt enters his mind so he must find
out what happened. Eyes Wide Shut is not Kubrick's best film but it
is an eye opener in more ways than one with solid acting and
directing.
While this is not everyone's cup of
tea there are some people out there who will enjoy it.
