Behind the 'Eyes Wide Shut' Team's Battle with the MPA After Stanley Kubrick's Death - and the Moment That Scandalized the Ratings Board
"Criterion Collection has just unveiled its 4K restoration of the classic erotic odyssey starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and it now looks better than ever, gloriously, at home. Though "Eyes Wide Shut" is very much one of IndieWire's favorite Christmas movies, we'll be unveiling over the Thanksgiving week conversations with director of photography Larry Smith, second unit cinematographer Malik Hassan Sayeed, editor Nigel Galt, set decorator Lisa Leone, and star and Kubrick mentee Todd Field, aka Nick Nightingale, blindfolded piano player to the sex-crazed"
"By that time, Galt had been close with the Oscar-nominated filmmaker for nearly a decade and was one of his most trusted longtime collaborators. After first working for Kubrick as a sound editor on 1987's "Full Metal Jacket," he had risen up through the ranks, eventually having a hand in the international re-releases of almost all of the auteur's films."
Criterion Collection has unveiled a 4K restoration of Eyes Wide Shut starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, improving the film's home presentation. Nigel Galt spent 15 months in post-production with Stanley Kubrick and is speaking on his experiences around the new release. Kubrick screened his working cut to Warner Bros. and the film's stars days before his death on March 7. Galt worked with Kubrick for nearly a decade, beginning as a sound editor on 1987's Full Metal Jacket and later contributing to international re-releases of many films. Galt influenced sound, image, and music on Eyes Wide Shut even before shooting began.
