EYES WIDE OPEN
OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE STANLEY KUBRICK
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Eyes Wide Shut — the erotic dreamlike odyssey that concluded visionary director Stanley Kubrick’s stunning body of work — we’re honored to bring to our theatre a (nearly complete) selection of his ingenious films.
As one of the most acclaimed and influential directors of the postwar era, Stanley Kubrick enjoyed a reputation and a standing unique among the filmmakers of his day. A perennial outsider, he worked far beyond the confines of Hollywood, maintaining complete artistic control and making movies according to the whims and time constraints of no one but himself, but with the rare advantage of studio financial support. Working in a vast range of styles and genres spanning from black comedy to horror to crime drama, Kubrick was an enigma, living and creating in almost total seclusion, far away from the watchful eye of the media. His films were a reflection of his obsessive nature, perfectionist masterpieces which remain among the most provocative and visionary motion pictures ever made.

Screenings will be preceded by new and exclusive short film: Never Just A Dream: Stanley Kubrick and ‘Eyes Wide Shut’.
