  Don't Close Your Voyeuristic Eyes or Doubt a Good Plot
Review created: 04/29/07(updated 05/04/07)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

Some critics might be tempted to trivialize Kubrick's avante garde finale film about sexual obsessions. But it did haul in $65 million! Kidman and Cruise, plus Sydney Pollack did star.

Dr. Bill Hartford (Cruise) is the sexually obsessed one. His wife, Alice (Kidman), shared a sexual fantasy with him that he couldn't erase from his mind.

Dr. Hartford's life starts to fall apart as he seeks out a wild array of sexual death scenes. One of them is downright closed cultish and quite lavish in the exotic, erotic, and fantastical of the aristocracy.

This film certainly questions all three of the psychological, sociological, and cultural characteristics of marriages, desires, and faith-based practices.

Kidman and Cruise show about as much of their sexual selves as I have ever seen. It's especially intriguing that they do in this fetishistic and fantastical form. I think it's a stunner.

I believe this is Kubrick's greatest film. While every one of his films, to me, has at least one area of complete brilliance, be it techincal, thematic, or just atmospheric, here all is part of a glorious whole. Every note is hit just right: even the bits of comedy come as entirely fitting, surprisingly they do not come off as an agitation and do not break tension. But perhaps this was a close issue to Kurbick, as he always had a sort of preoccupation with sexuality. On the surface it is primarlily an anti-adulterly message movie, but it's the sub-themes and little details that make the film so entrancing: the nature of the mystery is an essential element of the film. As Bill is so overcome by curiosity he just hasto go to the secret orgy, we are instantly engaged by the film's hypnotic atmosphere.

looks more like an erothic thriller than a reflection on marriage. the acting is amazing,and the sets are awe inspiring. in the 1-10 scale,i'd give it a 9,but it is still a good picture. magnificent!

  Eyes Wide Shut - Kidman Nakedness A+++
Review created: 01/21/08
by:

You see a lot of skin. Thats all I see... Nicole Kidman's skin especially. My wife likes it because of Tom Cruise. She insists there is a plot that has to do with sacrifice and love.

I see a twisted sex movie.

No guns, no bombs no broken glass... I think there is a namby pamby car chase, but thats about it.

The subplots are transparent.

And finally, it shows you that the #1 rule in Hollywood is true: Never make a movie with your wife. It WILL be a dog.

i love shopping for movies on ebay, most of the time you can find "hard to find" movies for less than the price they would cost at a retail store and most are brand new or in like new condition with original packaging. i recommend highly if searching for your favorite movie, check ebay first

  A lasting tribute to the beauty of Nicole Kidman
Review created: 04/08/07

This film is remembered for many things,but the real reason I got it was for Nicole Kidman.I have the video and it's nice also to have the DVD,but I'm aware that there's a European uncensored version and it's a shame that the DVD didn't have this added footage.In fact,it could have been made like another DVD of the film "Dressed to Kill",which has both the rated and unrated versions on the same disc and even shows the viewer the comparisons.For some,this film will chiefly be remembered for it's plentiful shots of women appearing fully nude and while Miss Kidman does have some nude scenes(notably at the beginning of the movie)my favorite scene is when she's arguing in the bedroom with her soon-to-be,real-life,ex-husband,Tom Cruise.Both actors turn in a fine performance and I really think Nicole's at her sexiest here.In addition to this wonderful scene,the film also stands out as being the last ever film directed by the late Stanley Kubrick.While the film was panned by some reviewers,I would say,overall,that for his last film this was a fine achievement for Kubrick.As far as the story goes,there are some really oddball moments as well as times of real tension.I don't want to give too much of the plot away so I guess you'll just have to see it for yourself.

  Eyes Wide Shut (2000, DVD) Kidman/Cruise Used
Review created: 01/10/07(updated 01/10/07)

I am Australian and so I like to follow the careers of Australians, in this case, Nicole Kidman. I found many, many reviews of this movie on Google. It was the last picture before his death of the renowned director, Stanley Kubrik. It was the last movie, as far as I know, starring Kidman and Cruise, before they went their separate ways. The movie is eerie and disturbing,if for no other reason than that it appears to expose Cruise and Kidman even though they are acting the part of other characters. Kubrik found a way to make the Barbie doll nude unappetizing - have fifty of them stand in a circle in a ritualistic ceremony during which the participants wear masks. The sexuality here seems gratuitous. In contrast, Kidman's figure appears childlike in its girlish slenderness. Cruise is mocked in the street by some frat boy types who raise questions about his manhood and orientation. The last frame in which the marriage appears to have a future was unconvincing, and augurs the future breakup of the couple offscreen. This film bears watching once because of the prominence of the principals in the field of film. Many observe that the movie is not erotic. I quickly returned the DVD to ebay for resale, where I got my money back!

  I think I Have Speck of Sex in My Eye
Review created: 07/14/01
by: bwyckoff1 -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
It had a thought provoking story line

Cons:
The pace was so slow it lulls you into a dream state

Last night in the dark confines of my living room I turned on the last film directed by the great Stanley Kubrick. Mr. Kubrick made so many other fine films such as 2001 Space Odyssey that I wonder why he tried to make the 20001 Sexual Odyssey on his way out. The film stars the sexy Nicole Kidman. You know the way things will be progressing from the first clip of her stripping off her clothes. One question why is it we see Nicole Kidman in several nude scenes and yet Tom cruise is never seen in full frontal nudity? Doesn t want to shatter his image I suppose, or lack of one. (Little male...

  Does The Title of This Movie Make Sense to Anyone?
Review created: 02/23/05
by: vemartin-- a member of Epinions and Advisor in Movies

Pros:
Nicole Kidman.

Cons:
Script lacked cohesion; there was no real story here.

I remember when the whispers began about Eyes Wide Shut, a supposedly incredibly erotic and sensual dramatic film staring the husband and wife team of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Rumors were ripe that despite being married, there was no chemistry between the two, that they had to be coached through the scenes of the movie that called for intimacy, and some modicum of passionate discourse between them. Not too long after the move hit the box office, the power couple did split citing career and scheduling conflicts as the reason. Rumors aside, Eyes Wide Shut in which the two did seem to have..

  Sex and Dreaming in NYC: Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
Review created: 12/04/02
by: lemon_lime -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
one of the best films of the 1990s

Cons:
most people still don't realize this.

(Please note: this review was mostly written in 1999, though never before submitted to epinions. I've made a few changes and revisions, but a good deal of it comes from over three years ago (i.e. mention of Kubrick's 'recent' passing, etc.) Try not to hold it against me.) For over two years now we've been hearing all about Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. Rumors, mostly untrue, have abounded: Tom and Nicole are playing sex therapists, Tom shoots heroin and dons a dress, it's all one big group sex-fest. And wise man that he was, Kubrick let them talk. And now, sadly, Kubrick has passed on,...

  Is This a Dream or Fantasy? Kubrick Presents His Final Film
Review created: 10/24/03
by: thevoid99 -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
An Excellent Film from Kubrick with Excellent Performances from Cruise & Kidman.

Cons:
Incomplete In Some Spots & Chemistry Between Cruise & Kidman Lacks Spark.

Throughout the history of films, every filmmaker cites another filmmaker as an influential force in cinema. Whether its Orson Welles, Akira Kurosawa, Elia Kazan, and George Cukor to more recent big-time directors like Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and Quentin Tarantino. Then, there's one director many filmmakers in the past 30 years have cited as a seminal figure in film and has been imitated one way or another than anyone in film. Many consider him the ultimate auteur director while he has reputation of being a control freak, perfectionist, recluse, and all sorts of things which some of.

  Eyes Wide Shut: And no dream is ever just a dream
Review created: 03/05/01
by: telynor-- a member of Epinions and Advisor in Movies

Pros:
Moody, introspective piece, good if you want to think about it for a while.

Cons:
Most viewer will be left saying 'what?' If you're looking for titillation, don't bother.

This is a film about a blind man. Not in terms of actual vision, he can see as well as the rest of us, his eyes are normal, but he cannot perceive the world around him. Dr. Bill Harford can diagnose the ill, move through life doing the right thing, making social contact with old friends and his patients, but he is a sleepwalker. Pity he can't see his wife either. People were troubled, titillated and disturbed by this film when it was released. The frank and graphic depictions of sex bothered a great many, who derided the film as pornographic. Inspired by the novella "Traumenovelle" ...
