Eyes Wide Shut: A bizarre and eclectic study on sex and other nonsense (but mostly sex), set to a backdrop of surreal mystique. Cruise and Kidman have astonishing charisma (especially Kidman), and the use of a married couple for the lead roles was a great idea in terms of 'chemistry'. Their body language -- and sometimes even just their presence -- can convey quite a lot of feeling, which was helpful for this film because the dialogue was often pretty tedious. Atmosphere was delicious. Plot certainly leaves some questions -- a few too many, I think, to really keep the mystery engaging and make the ending sufficiently thought-provoking.
