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!

My favorite Kubrick movie, I loved from my first watch in the theater and it's been fun to see its continued cultural influence. I feel like there's so many facets to it - it's about the impossibility of monogamy, and it's also about how capitalism perverts human relationships (Tim Kreider's piece on it really blew my mind, I go back to read it pretty frequently). Plus it's just gorgeous to look at, all that grainy, lush color.
