Except, I want to change the category.I thought he was gonna surprise me, when Kubrick selected him... expecting another Ryan... so I was really looking forward... only to be grossly disappointed. Not in Tom, mind you, but in old man Stanley.
Talk about shattered hopes!

I did not like the film anyway a kind of intellectual " Story of O "
This film grows on you over time. The DVD is not in the correct aspect ratio but serviceable. The colors just POP out at you. YOu may have seen it at its release when all the hooppla over it ands Kubrick's death may have made everyone expect more. Certainly not his greatest but still very well done.
No one dispute that it was well done!
But it is not my cup of tea.
Maybe it would make some sense in 1960, but not any later. I was shocked the master took that idiotic story - it was like he was reliving his puberty.
