"Kubrick's Haunting Final Masterpiece.Vivid, Brilliant, Unforgettable."-Richard Schickel, TIME
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" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times).
Cruise plays Dr. William Hartford, 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 colors, startling images: bravura traits that make Kubrick a filmmaker for the ages are here to keep everyone's eyes wide open.
