"Eyes Wide Shut"

Posted by rico (A) on March 23, 2006 at 07:55:40

With the exception of "Spartacus" (which was not totally under his control) I have not embraced any Stanley Kubrick film fully upon first viewing. This is particularly true of "Eyes Wide Shut", his last film. I watched it in 16 x 9 last night (I don't care for the 4:3 aspect ratio of the DVD) for perhaps the fifth time and really got into it. I think if you approach it as a dream, particularly after the dope smokoing scene, it works better. I found the screenplay exceptional and enjoyed every single scene. Being a Kubrick freak, I also enjoyed the many references to other Kubrick fims scattered throughout. As always tne colors popped all during the film and I think he must have used a special film stock to achieve this. Highly recommended although I wish the studio would re-release this in an anamporphic 16 X 9 transfer without the censoring during the orgy scenes.
