Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

Sandor: You know why women used to get married, don't you?

Alice: Why don't you tell me?

Sandor: It was the only way they could lose their virginity 

and be free to do what they wanted with other men. 

The ones they really wanted.

Alice: Fascinating.

Stanley Kubrick's final masterpiece Eyes Wide Shut (and yes I do consider this Kubrick's own film even if it was finished post-mortem -- on that tip there's a great new interview with the film's editor right here that address this subject) has landed on 4K today thanks to Criterion -- you can grab a copy right here. I've had a copy for a couple of weeks but it doesn't feel right to watch this movie before the holidays so I've been saving it. I think I might actually watch it right on Christmas, or Christmas Eve anyway. I should time it so Nicole Kidman says "Fuck." just at the strike of Midnight! What are y'all's thoughts on this movie? I've been a big fan since Day One personally, but I know it's a controversial one!
