Take a walk on the wild side with Eyes Wide Shut, Stanley Kubrick’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.
