Eye Wide Shut (1999, directed by Stanley Kubrick)

Stanley Kubrick would have been 97 years old today!

In honor of this visionary and his career, here is a wonderful  scene from his final film, 1999’s Eyes Wide Shut.  Like so many of Kubrick’s films, it took a while for people to really appreciate Eyes Wide Shut.  It’s an odd and, at times, frustrating film but still a film touched by Kubrick’s unique genius.  It’s also a Christmas film and one that I plan to revisit for the site in December.

In this scene, Tom Cruise discovers that it’s not quite as easy to crash a super secret party as he thought it would be.
