Eyes Wide Shut

(Warner)

Based on Arthur Schnitzler's Traumnovelle, Stanley Kubrick's final film watches tony, Central Park West doctor-and-wife couple Bill and Alice Harford (real-life marrieds Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman) slip apart into fantasy worlds. When a friend tips Bill off to a decadent, dangerous orgy out in the boondocks, he sneaks in, but then babe who tries to save him from discovery winds up dead and his friend disappears, and the explanation he gets is an inane blur. In the end all that seems to matter is whether Bill and Alice can cope with their fantasies.
