Title: Auteurist stigma
Review: The sad thing about Stanley Kubric's career was the importance placed on absolutely every frame of every film he ever made. As this was his final opus many wanted to see the closing chapter in a perplexing drama about an auteur who never sold out. Eyes Wide Shut wasn't that film, in fact the direction is heavy handed, the acting stilted and false, and the script was loathsome and terrible at it's absolute best. For those who didn't get it, or don't understand the film, where were you? Eyes Wide Shut is so heavy handed from start to finish that it is just plain boring. There are some beautiful sequences, some thought provoking concepts, some nice imagery, definately, but why is everyone so afraid to say that it just wasn't that good? I have to point out how stupid it is to release on DVD a censored version of the film (at least we saw the real one here in Australia)! And not in widescreen either. How rediculous.
