Twenty years since its release, Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut
remains a complex, visually arresting film about domesticity, sexual
disturbance, and dreams. It was on the director's mind for some 50 years
before he finally put it into production. Using the Stanley Kubrick
Archive at the University of the Arts, London, and interviews with
participants in the production, the authors create an archeology of the
film that traces the progress of the film from its origins to its
completion, reception, and afterlife. The book is also an appreciation
of this enigmatic work and its equally enigmatic creator.
