Advantages: oooohh
Disadvantages: A bit slow and far fetched
Eyes wide shut Well this is going to be a hard review. This is an out-standing film, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. This film is by Stanley Kubrick; he also stars in the film. I got this film out on video over a year ago, I always seem to like the films with Tom Cruise in them but to be honest I wasn’t prepared for some of the scenes that I was about to see. THE FILM This film is a compelling psychosexual journey; guaranteed to shock and amaze you all the way through, leaving you astonished with you eyes wide open. NOT FOR EVERYONE Ok so some people may not like this film, as it is like a strange sexual fantasy film. If you don’t like sexual conversation and sexual references I would recommend that you give this film I miss. BEGINING The film starts by showing you Alice (Nicole Kidman) on the toilet, she and her husband Bill (Tom Cruise) are getting really to go a dinner party. They are both professional people (Bill is a Doctor and Alice does Artwork), who seem very happy together. They have one child together, who is on this night staying at home with the baby sitter. Alice and Bill arrive at the party, get a drink and start to dance, Bill notices an old friend who he met at medical school and goes over to him for a chat.... Mean while Alice starts chatting to a man at the bar, he asks her to dance and they start to talk and flirt together.... While she is busy dancing with this older man, her husband start getting chatted up by these two women... Bill gets called away by a gentleman and is asked to go upstairs with him. Tom goes up stairs only to find that his friend (Victor the host of the party) is half-naked and that a girl is naked and overdosed on drugs slumped in a chair. Bill helps her and tells that she is lucky to be alive... Meanwhile back downstairs Alice is being asked to go upstairs with his man she declines the offer and tells him that sh
e must go. They arrive back home together and when they both have a little cannabis, she starts asking him questions about where he disappeared to, things get little heated and he asks her what that man wanted who was dancing with you. Alice now very unstable starts to tell Bill that when they are making love she is thinking of other men. The conversation swirls out of control and they start to argue. Before Bill as chance to reply to her confession, the phone rings and Bill is called out to a patient. THE PLOT Ok so let me get to point - The old friend who he met at the dinner party is involved in some kind of weird cult sex group. Bill’s curiosity takes over his mood and he asks if he can go alone with him. From here on in the film changes mood completely, it starts to become very mysterious and becomes full of sexual fantasies and strange goings on. The story now sweeps from doubt and fear to self-discovery and reconciliation. All the people in the cult are wearing masks and costumes. There is something about this group that just isn’t right, and Bill finds himself getting involved into a deep and dangerous world of women sex and strange fantasies. Rated 18 Available from most video shops
