Eyes Wide Shut

Stanley Kubrick
United States, United Kingdom, 1999

Imported Uncensored 35mm Archival Print

featuring

Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Sydney Pollack, Vinessa Shaw,

Kubrick’s adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler’s Traumnovelle—literally “dream story”—involves a married couple, Dr. Bill and Alice Harford (Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman), who free-fall through a psychological landscape of libido and longing. Kubrick does away with the easy oppositions of fantasy and fact, favoring instead a more polymorphic perversity where pleasure penetrates all. At a masked ball, Dr. Bill seeks in anonymity a source for his arousal. And he is not alone behind his mask, or so Kubrick would tell us. In this carnal construction we call life, we conceal our true faces.
