Stanley Kubrick's daring last film is a bracing psychosexual journey, a riveting suspense tale and a career milestone for stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.
At a Christmas party hosted by wealthy, unconventional Victor Ziegler, provocative advances and innocent flirtations arouse suspicion as high-society physician Dr. William Harford and his sexy wife, Alice watch each other from a distance.
Alone later, this seemingly perfect couple confront their intimate sexual fantasies -- which don't include each other. Caught between reality and illusion, jealousy and obsession, William struggles with his inner urges. Will he act on his erotic fantasies or keep them hidden deep inside? Sometimes a man can see more clearly with his Eyes Wide Shut.
Audience Pick: Eyes Wide Shut was selected by Showroom audiences for our Christmas programme.
