July 16 1999 

EYES WIDE SHUT opens. Written by Stanley Kubrick and Frederic Raphael, from the novel Traumnovelle by Arthur Schnitzler. Kubrick's last film posits real life couple (at the time) Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman as frustrated wife and jealous husband in a glacially paced, inarticulate, largely impotent  rumination on sexual obsession and infidelity. With Sydney Pollack and Marie Richardson.
