Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

Admittedly, it took me a very long time (a year, in fact) to get myself ready to rewatch Eyes Wide Shut . The idea of giving my thoughts on a Stanley Kubrick film when people have already said so much about them was daunting, but it becomes even more daunting when it's his final film -- and one that people absolutely adore to theorize about. Eyes Wide Shut is a peculiar film indeed, one full of motifs and symbolism that can be interpreted in a myriad of ways. So I'll take a swing at it, too.    

Update #2

Almost one whole year later since the last post, and here we are. The COVID-19 vaccines are rolling out all across the world. Top Gun: Maverick has been pushed back. Again. For the fifth time, in fact. But I will not give up. I'm in the midst of writing a new review right now. While they might be posted a bit later than the day I watched the film, they'll still be coming nonetheless. Thanks for hanging in there. Onward with the Tom Cruise movies!
