Eyes Wide Shut

<p>Twenty years since its release Stanley Kubrick's <em>Eyes Wide Shut</em> remains a complex visually arresting film about domesticity sexual disturbance and dreams. It was on the director's mind for some 50 years before he finally put it into production. Using the Stanley Kubrick Archive at the University of the Arts London and interviews with participants in the production the authors create an archeology of the film that traces the progress of the film from its origins to its completion reception and afterlife. The book is also an appreciation of this enigmatic work and its equally enigmatic creator.</p>
