Eyes Wide Shut - It's Christmas...Kubrick style

 Going through the Letterboxed reviews, what you see a lot of are "Christmas movie, it is!" I'll tell ya, the Christmas tree and lights are all over the place. But that is aesthetic, wallpaper backdrop while sex, sex, sex takes center stage. 

I did ask myself, considering the tormented auteur perfectionist Kubrick was, how many times did he shoot Kidman's lovely naked body from behind as she snapped her bra on. Or her fantasies through Cruise's mind with sailor stud...these are Kidman fully committed to very intimate scenes. So how many times did she have to do those scenes?!

I have to say, Kidman naked in front of the mirror as "You did a bad bad thing" kicks up...pure fire. Can we not see why Cruise wouldn't want to take his hands and lips off if her? The iconic look to the mirror as the film's poster image. It sets the underlying sexual tensions. I'm sure they will have a good fuck after the final scene. I just wonder if she'll want him to wear the Rainbow party mask.
