"Welcome to IndieWire's "Eyes Wide Shut" Week. The password is, of course, "fidelio," but we've already taken care of admittance, inviting you into five days of stories celebrating Stanley Kubrick's swan-song masterpiece from 1999. Criterion Collection has just unveiled its 4K restoration of the classic erotic mystery 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 interviews with director of photography Larry Smith, second unit cinematographer Malik Hassan Sayeed, set decorator Lisa Leone, and star and Kubrick mentee Todd Field, aka Nick Nightingale, blindfolded piano player to the sex-crazed elite. "Give up your inquiries, which are completely useless.""
"Vivian's father was Stanley Kubrick, and the movie was "Eyes Wide Shut." When Leone saw the list of things Kubrick wanted photographed, she realized they were all in her neighborhood and told Vivian she'd be happy to help out. "I made some four by sixes, she mailed them off, and I forgot about it," Leone said. Six months later, she checked her answering machine and heard Stanley Kubrick's voice on one of her messages."
A themed week centers on Stanley Kubrick's 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut and coincides with a newly unveiled Criterion Collection 4K restoration that improves the film's home presentation. Planned interviews include director of photography Larry Smith, second-unit cinematographer Malik Hassan Sayeed, set decorator Lisa Leone, and actor Todd Field. Lisa Leone received a request from Vivian to photograph research material near her home, produced four-by-six prints, mailed them, and later learned that Stanley Kubrick praised the images. Months afterward Leone discovered a voice message on her answering machine from Stanley Kubrick.
