Stanley Kubrick's daring last film is many things. It is a compelling psychosexual journey. A haunting dreamscape. A riveting tale of suspense. A major milestone in the careers of stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. And "a worthy final chapter to a great director's career" (Chicago Sun-Times). Cruise plays Dr. William Harford, who plunges into an erotic foray that threatens his marriage - and may even ensnare him in a lurid murder mystery - after his wife's (Kidman) admission of sexual longings. As the story sweeps from doubt and fear to self-discovery and reconciliation, Kubrick orchestrates it with masterful flourishes. Graceful tracking shots, controlled pacing, rich colours, startling images: bravura traits that make Kubrick a filmmaker for the ages are here to keep everyone's eyes wide open.

This movie probably shows Stanley Kubrick at his lowest, being nothing more than a high-brow porn flick starring big name Hollywood actors. Only Kubrick would have the clout to get otherwise "classy" actors such as our own Nic to get their togs off for the cameras. Nonsensical plot, lots of jiggly bits and Tom Cruise in the buff... something for everybody! Not.

This film was vastly misunderstood, by many critics, and by most audiences (the trailer showing a naked Nicole and Tom making out didn't help people's expectations). But it is a haunting, demanding, masterpiece. Yes, it explains too much (I am sure if Kubrick had lived he would have cut the "explanatory" scene near the end between Cruise and Pollack). But as a rumination on marriage, commitment and sexual (in)fidelity, it is unparalleled Truly wonderful.
