Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

Stanley, say it isn't so.....

[19 September 1999]

I strode confidently into the cinema to see "EWS". Bad reviews meant nothing to me a MOST stalwart Kubrick fan. Goodgodalmightydamn the reviewers WERE right. The only Kubrick film prior to "EWS" that eluded me was "Barry Lyndon" which seemed to me to be an homage to the color green - which was a sort of saving grace. Found not even that with this most disappointing and FINAL salvo!

A Grande Arte (1991)

Unforgettable

[17 September 1999]

A film that is extremely evocative - so many exciting nuances. It is unforgettable - a pity that the actor who played the "knife expert" is seen more. One of Peter Coyote's best.An unusual cast - many contrasts. The photography is outstanding. A haunting experience....
