Kubrick’s final film is an incredible display of precision and suspense, featuring a fragile relationship played out by then-couple Kidman and Cruise. Bill Harford, a good-looking, successful doctor, is triggered when his wife shares her private sexual fantasies. He plunges into the Manhattan night, embarking on his own sexual odyssey, which soon turns into something darker. Shot over an unprecedented 15-month period and based on Arthur Schnitzler’s novella Traumnovelle, Eyes Wide Shut is ripe for rediscovery as it explores the seductive and dangerous sexual underbelly of New York’s elite.
