"A New York City doctor pushes himself towards the exploration of the city’s underground sexual scene after his wife admits to him that she once almost cheated on him. Eyes Wide Shut is a film with a split consensus. Nevertheless, Kubrick's final masterpiece, with its lush visual and eccentric style that matches the legendary filmmaker's previous works, is an enigmatic and profound study of the human psyche as well as an alternative and fearless look at relationships and fidelity. A daunting work, with a production which lasted over 400 days, the final product will no doubt remain an enthralling film to be watched, understood and re-evaluated over and over again."
