Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

Stanley Kubrick achieves a clear perception of the human mind.

[21 September 1999]

By approaching human sexual nature directly, Stanley Kubrick has revealed the inner part of our deeper thinking for all to see. A stream of consciousness allows one to relate to both protagonists in a very personal way while following a natural path to a very real resolution.

The movie is highly intellectual and yet presents a simple case, of the life of ordinary people, with clarity.

If you are one to dwell on human philosophy then this movie will give you something to think about.

Once a Thief (1996–1998)

A refreshing and intelligent story...

[5 January 1999]

Once a Thief focuses on the lives of three people, each with his/her own deep background, that unwillingly become secret agents and pawns of an almost maniacal woman - the director of a shaddowy government agency.

The movie is, in short, a work of art.

Both elements of seriousness and humor are portrayed seamlessly and stylishly. Each episode is an independent part of a large collection that, when complete, is a master piece.
