Eyes Wide Shut

Before 2009 comes to a close, I'm dipping into my archives to consider ten years of Eyes Wide Shut. One of Stanley Kubrick's most underrated pictures, and a movie that in terms of love, sex, death, fuck, fear and träume remains timeless. It's also a great Christmas movie...

I've never understood the hate for Eyes Wide Shut. I was mesmerized the first time I saw it, and every subsequent viewing has given me an even great appreciation for the film, though I still can't explain what exactly happens.

Nicole Kidman has never looked more beautiful, Tom Cruise never shorter, and the scene where Kidman's character reveals her dark secret is terrifying. And yes, I can't think of a movie not specifically about the holiday more wrapped up in Christmas.

Put on Eyes Wide Shut and I'm reaching for the Eggnog.
