In spite of VK's warnings and my distaste for C & K, I rented this recently just to see what Kubrick was up to.Well, I should have trusted my fellow inmates.
The only amusing thing in the entire movie was Kubrick's use of color. I had recently see Hitchcock's "Vertigo" (for about the 11th time) and was facinated by the master's use of color. I wonder if Kubrick was paying homage to Hitch -- the similarities were awfully close to be coincidental.
Or perhaps Kubrick just hated Cruse and Kidman as much as we do?
Such great directors can't be dismissed so easily. There's always something for those who care enough to look.
