    “Eyes Wide Shut” Movie Review

    “EWS” Plot Summary

    A New York City doctor, who is married to an art curator, pushes himself on a harrowing and dangerous night-long odyssey of sexual and moral discovery after his wife admits that she once almost cheated on him.

    Kubrick’s finest achievement

    One of the most under-rated films of the decade, Eyes Wide Shut is a brilliant masterpiece, from the very opening of the film to its very end. Kubrick succeeds in what many good filmmakers failed before him- and conveys a beautiful imagery of our state of dreams, full of sexual symbolism and other dream-like symbols (notice the stop signs in the streets in front of Tom Cruise), and creates a feeling of total wandering; although consistent, due to the fact that every scene and dialogue is vital and neccecary for the film’s development

    Moreover, Kubrick’s use of music is even more genius than always, and Ligeti’s motif from Musica Ricercarta shows us the repetitive nature of dreams, together with a feeling that we don’t know where to go next

    And of course there is a note of marriage life, men’s sexuality (and the attempt to deny women’s sexuality) and the very fine acting of Cruise and Kidman, which was a postlude of there own relationship

    For me, this is the finest, most perfect film of Kubrick, and therefore one of the best films of all. A must see! 10/10

    “The Man Without a Face” Movie Review

    “The Man Without a Face” Plot Summary

    Chuck wants to leave home but can’t make the grade for boarding school. Then he finds out the disfigured recluse living nearby is an ex-teacher. add synopsis

    Beautiful and moving

    I only watched this film the first time because I’m a Mel Gibson fan, but I soon realised I enjoyed it for many other reasons than that alone. Gibson does not put himself centre screen instead focusing on Nick Stahl, who is beautifully cast as Chuck. The two interact well and make the film. The scenery is beautiful and none of the supporting actors disappoint. It may be a film touched with sadness that can have you shouting against the injustice of it all, but somehow, when you get to the end you feel good. Definitely not a waste of an hour or two.
