Every once in a while there are movies that you just want to
watch again. Of course, the reasons why may vary. That is the case with my next
selection, Eyes Wide Shut. As icon Stanley Kubricks’ last film, there are so
many different theories out there that remain unanswered due to his untimely
death, and it is fun to watch, and re-watch this flick to see if any clues can
be found.

Plot/ A New York City doctor, who is married to an art
curator, pushes himself on a harrowing and dangerous nightlong odyssey of
sexual and moral discovery after his wife admits that she once almost cheated
on him.
It is funny, this movie seems to pop up in many different
arenas and conversations, and no, I really do not believe that it got Kubrick killed
(could have, but…). Now after watching it again, it was definitely a lot better
this time than when I watched it the first time years ago. There is no doubt
that this is a Kubrick film, it had his attitude, atmosphere and edge. The storyline
was interesting, the acting solid, the soundtrack amazing, and as always, the
cinematography and direction were spot on. More importantly, it was a thought
provoking movie, something that rarely exists anymore. In the end, this Kubrick
entry is not for everyone, but it is a movie that should be seen and understood,
of course the understanding may come at some later point. Check it out!
