Eyes Wide Shut is an erotic drama film directed by Stanley Kubrick – released in 1999, it is the final feature he completed before dying that same year at the age of 70. Based on Arthur Schnitzler’s 1926 novella Traumnovelle (Dream Story), it depicts the ambivalent role of extra-marital fantasies revealed by a woman to her husband in a seemingly happy relationship. One would be forgiven to suspect that, over the course of his career, Kubrick was working his way to an investigation of female desire by first tackling less daunting subjects in earlier works (e.g., war, outer space, ultraviolence and horror)!
