Movie Title: Eyes Wide Shut Eyes Wide Shut is available for streaming or downloading. |
1999 was one of the greatest years in original memory for film. Yet Eyes Wide Shut is all but absent from the end-of-the-year awards ceremonies and most critics lists.
The first thing to acquire in mind are that this film was hyped design beyond necessity. As if the general public had any interest in the “Kubrick” listed below “Sail” and “Kidman”. To them this was fair another Huge Actor’s next Spacious Movie. Passing it off like a “true Hollywood couple gets busy on the large conceal” heightened expectations for something Kubrick wasn’t trying to execute. It suffered the same audience reaction as The Phantom Menace, and made only a section of the money.
Critics seemed to be lining up to choose potshots at this film. Why? Original history shows us that all of Kubrick’s films from 2001 onward have been attacked critically, and subsequently hailed as classic years later. The same is fair of most of Orson Welles’ work. Few critics took the time to peek this movie more than once before spewing their venom. A filmmaker like Kubrick is not going for dispute emotional contact with the audience. He is aiming far deeper, asking the viewer to think on not only the images, but the themes, and the emotional investments of the characters. The subtlety is not something popular in today’s films, and something critics apparently can’t process snappy enough to meet a press deadline.

For all those complain that the film isn’t sexy or erotic enough are missing the point completely. It’s not about sex. It’s about many other things, some of which linger in the background, some that aren’t noticeable on the initial viewing. Kubrick raises questions about our institution of marriage, the nature of faith, commitment, temptation. That most in the audience weren’t willing to meet Kubrick, Coast, and Kidman halfway in this meditation isn’t a comment on the quality on the filmmaking, it’s a shortcoming of the sensory-deadened society. If Kubrick had been more in touch with today’s film culture, would he have bothered to give us this complex of an experience? Let’s thank him for his seclusion.
A Effect on the DVD not being letterboxed: Kubrick (again, like Welles) preferred the aspect ratio of television, and left extra position in his frame for their widescreen theatrical showings (some are letterboxed on Home Video as well) . The Bright, Elephantine Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut are meant to be seen in the full-screen standard format, and therefore aren’t available in letterbox, so don’t feel you’re being cheated out of any compositional convey. Unfortunately you are being cheated by Warner Bros’ refusal to hold the digital figures blocking the orgy scenes, inserted for theatrical release to regain the “R” rating. Only in America…
The Special Edition is a welcome release simply because it’s the unrated, European, uncensored version of the film. I won’t start to review the film itself except to say that it’s probably Kubrick’s least appreciated and most underrated film–undeservedly so– I personally judge it’s honest as gleaming as his other works. Look it more than once before you settle.

That said, the fresh Warner release has some flaws. The disk is supposed to bear BOTH versions of the film (unrated and rated), but it ONLY contains the unrated version (better that than impartial the rated one!) . But the packaging says it contains both, so there’s a large boo-boo. Also, it was originally advertised that the film would have commentary by Sydney Pollack and someone else– but there is no commentary on the film (and it doesn’t say as such on the packaging… so it must have been decided not to include it for some reason) . Nevertheless, it was originally touted in press releases that it would have commentary that I was looking forward to hearing.
After that, the extras a qualified and the movie looks ample. But someone at Warner Home Video needs to have a reprimanding!
