Stanley Kubrick's enigmatic last film is a psychological study on the fragility of marriage and the constant dangers that can destroy it including temptation and infidelity. When the wife of a prominent doctor confesses that she might have been unfaithful one night, it sends him on a downward spiral where he faces dangerous temptations among them HIV infected prostitutes and mysterious sexual orgies. The result is an uneven film that's fascinating at the least but ultimately disappointing. The making of the film was notorious for its long shooting and casting of superstar couple of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. While Cruise and Kidman risked everything to be part of this film, it remains questionable whether they were the right choices for the film specially Cruise. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
