Eyes Wide Shut https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/73/Eyes_Wide_Shut_%281999%29.png Dir: Stanley Kubrick Genre: Drama, Suspense/Thriller Year: 1999 Even though Scorsese is on this list more times, I consider Stanley Kubrick to be the greatest director of all time. His last film was divisive upon release, but I find it to be an amazing and appropriate close to the greatest filmmaking career in history. Kubrick can create a nervous ambiance better than anyone else. The entirety of Eyes Wide Shut feels like it's building up to a horrible revelation--and that feeling can penetrate your bones. I think the lack of an explanation also amplifies this. We're outsiders looking in at this world none of us can understand. It's like a brief window into another dimension, filmed with an uncanny mastery of camera and staging. There's nothing quite like it. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard! |
