Eyes Wide Shut is a dreamlike odyssey where eroticism is everywhere. Stanley Kubrick's last film, adapted from Arthur Schnitzler's novella Dream Story, follows doctor Bill ( Tom Cruise) and his wife Alice (Nicole Kidman), who have what seems like the perfect life. But after they attend a swanky New York City Christmas party, they have a candid conversation about their desires. Bill can't fathom the idea of Alice being unfaithful, but she reveals that she's been fantasizing about a naval officer
