Don't recognise the your out of a job part but the speed limit to be over is 50. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out by one decade Another clue it is a classic British film With a veritable Who’s Who of British stars.

The first time I saw Eyes Wide Shut I remember thinking it looked nice enough, but I wasn't really taken with it. I've seen it a couple more times since and it's a grower, there are new things I notice each time. I have always found Kubrick whilst technically brilliant, a bit of a 'cold' director. Spurious showbiz comment- at one of my old jobs my boss's wife at the time was the au pair to Kidman and Cruise's kids when they filmed ESW in London. Apparently they then offered her to move to LA to continue to look after the kids but she turned them down!

Agree, a director I respect but far from a favourite, his best film by some margin is The Killing for me, an absolute masterpiece of the genre.

useless Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn - I liked the first half an hour when she's wandering around Bucharest and the way the camera often leaves her and focuses on things like statues and shop facades and so on, the second part a sort of short dictionary of anecdotes, signs and wonders, is kind of interesting, wasn't too keen on the final part though. The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover - This was an interesting spectacle, Helen Mirren and Michael Gambon were good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
