CRUISE. KIDMAN. KUBRICK. CHRISTMAS.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Stanley Kubrick’s daring last film is a redeemably depraved psychosexual nightmare, showcasing career-defining performances by Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in their unflinching exploration of human desire. One of the most influential films of modern cinema and one of the most controversial, EYES WIDE SHUT is a brutally ominous sexcapade, placing an ellipses at the end of Kubrick’s legendary career—and, most importantly—stands as a crucial text for our contemporary world. Fidelio!

At a Christmas party hosted by wealthy, unconventional Victor Ziegler (Sydney Pollack), provocative advances and innocent flirtations arouse suspicion as high-society physician Dr. William Harford (Tom Cruise) and his sexy wife, Alice (Nicole Kidman) watch each other from a distance. Alone later, this seemingly perfect couple confront their intimate sexual fantasies—which don’t include each other. Caught between reality and illusion, jealousy and obsession, William struggles with his inner urges. Will he act on his erotic fantasies or keep them hidden deep inside? Sometimes a man can see more clearly with his Eyes Wide Shut.
