Stanley Kubricks career-capping Eyes Wide Shut unfolds in a dreamscape vision of New York City, where doctor Bill Harford (Tom Cruise) and his wife, Alice (Nicole Kidman), confront the unconscious desires, jealousies, and fears threatening their marriage. A Christmastime odyssey into a surreal sexual underworld whose hidden power structures are laid frighteningly bare, the film marks the fulfillment of the directors decades-long desire to adapt Arthur Schnitzlers novella Traumnovelle ( Dream Story ) and the culmination of his obsessive interest in the relationship between institutional authority and the individual. Released in 1999, the film also serves as a fitting coda to a century of cinema, by one of its greatest visionaries--an endlessly tantalizing labyrinth whose myriad symbols, mysteries, and meanings are still being unraveled.
