Movie Review
Eyes Wide Shut
by Gary Johnson
Rarely has a motion picture inspired such a torrent of specious rumors as Eyes Wide Shut. Director Stanley Kubrick's modus operandi required that a cloak of secrecy envelope the movie throughout its production. But even before cameras started rolling, rumors began to circulate. Sex scenes with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman would be explicit! Not true. The movie would feature necrophilia! Not true. Such an influx of rumors might be expected for a Star Wars sequel, but this movie features no space ships or laser battles.
