Party Like It’s 1999 and Kubrick Christmas close out the year with Eyes Wide Shut, the director’s subversive, sexual holiday mystery.
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman star as William and Alice, a wealthy New York couple trying to get in the holiday spirit. After Alice admits to William that she once almost — key word being almost — cheated on him, William is suddenly inspired to partake in a nightlong sexual odyssey, finding himself in one strange entanglement after another as the possible indiscretion plays out on a loop in his head. His late night sojourn eventually brings him to a secretive occult group that may offer him more excitement than he’s looking for…
The director’s last film before his death, Eyes Wide Shut is a disturbing yet beguiling note to end Kubrick’s storied career on.
