In Reply to: Re: "Eyes Wide Shut". Watched This Film Again A While.... posted by rico on June 06, 2004 at 06:44:16:
the same manor house in "The Ninth Gate" (Polanski). Knowing that Kubric does not shoot outside of UK/Europe, I wonder if it was the same manor? Seen Gate?
Follow Ups:
Yes, I own "The Ninth Gate" and the same thing occurred to me. I do know that some second unit filming on EWS was done in New York City so maybe the same manor house was used as well.
In the horrible and weak film of EWS, the "orgy" scene was the most idiotically boring and just plain dumb scenes - quite an accomplishment.It was several levels below dated - it was as if Kubrick suddenly was himself as the 1960's radical society shocker.
Actually... I think it would already look dated in the sixties.
Ohhhh-- but an "updated" orgy scene is so beside the point of this movie. The artistry behind Kubrick's scene enhances the sense of fear and insecurity felt by Cruise's character.
There was no tension, suspense, fear, danger or any of these attributes in the "orgy" scene - it was simply boring and laughable.It was incredibly hard to sit through that scene... heck, the whole film for that matter.
I recall how I felt riveted to his other films...
