I was impressed from the beginning scene, as the camera "waltzed" from shot to shot, back and forth from Cruise and Kidman, as they prepare from a night out on the town, classic Kubrick. I do not think any director has successfully merged each shot and sound better then Kubrick has throughout his career (example 2001 and Thus Spake Zarathustra), and Eyes Wide Shut is no exception, with a piano note that made the theater nervous and uneasy. This seamless combination of film, audio and mood is a technical masterpiece.



Another brilliant thing about Kubrick's movies is that they rarely contain a definitive point, leaving interpretation open to the viewer...
