rmI've just seen Eyes Wide Shut and I don't know what to do with it. It was awful in any number of ways (I found the script irritated me for the same reasons that Dogville's did, which is somewhat odd) which I will no doubt enumerate tomorrow. A lot of it made me angry, and some of it was simply gorgeous. The only way I can describe my emotional state in the wake of it is "tainted."
It is probably the best case I've ever seen for the madness that encourages film, or that filn requires, not being cute. I make a lot of quasi-jests about art and control issues, and granted this film hit some of my buttons, but *shudder* -- I think it was awful and for reasons entirely unrelated to its awfulness I'm uncomfortable that it even exists.
