Film: Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

DVD: Shot in Full Frame Ratio by Director
Eyes Wide Shut (R-Rated Edition)

"So, because I'm a beautiful woman, the only reason any man wants to talk to me is because he wants to fuck me? Is that what you're saying?"

Review: This is a movie that grows on me. The overall plot isn't that great and it kinda grinds to a halt at the end, but as a series of individual scenes that are great on their own, it works. Nicole's dancing coversation with the Hungarian, Tom's encounter with the hooker, the costume store, the atmospheric tension of the mansion costume party, they work as wonderful great scenes on there own.

"Millions of years of evolution, right? Right? Men have to stick it in every place they can, but for women... women it is just about security and commitment and whatever the fuck else!"

3 out of 4 Stars
