User's review

Pathology, more exactly psychopathology, is the main metaphor in Eyes Wide Shut. The movie depicts a society in the last stages of dysfunction in its ideological structures. Guess you could say the devil has been busy in the American paradise and the signs are there in Kubrick's New York scenes. The cloaked residents of the luxuriously sombre Somerton chateau could very well be Satan's troops, judging by their bizarre psychotic inhumanity and sadism toward women. Arthur Schnitzler, next to William Shakespeare, may be Kubrick's favorite author. He wrote (in German) Rhapsody, A Dream Novel (late 1920s) , that Kubrick used as the basis for Eyes. That's all I got to say right now.
