Potentially the most significant release of Summer 1999.
Stanley Kubrick's swansong generated huge buzz, partly through a cunning "stealth" marketing campaign (to use one of the finer oxymorons in the movie business) and partly through the world's fascination with mega-stars.
Unfortunately, the expectations didn't match the movie, which undoubtedly harmed its box office take.
The editting of the orgy scene to secure an "R" rating in the US damaged the artistic credibility of the movie, and deflected the audience away from an appreciation of the story. To many who watched it, Eyes Wide Shot seemed a prurient portrayal of a sexual fantasy. In years to come, when judged in the context of Kubrick's other work, it might receive a more balanced appraisal, and achieve the recognition it deserves.
