Cruise plays Dr. William Harford, who plunges into an erotic foray that threatens his marriage — and may even
ensnare him in a lurid murder mystery — after his wife’s (Kidman) admission of sexual longings. As the story
sweeps from doubt and fear to self-discovery and reconciliation, Kubrick orchestrates it with masterful flourishes.
Graceful tracking shots, controlled pacing, rich colors, startling images: bravura traits that make Kubrick a
filmmaker for the ages are here to keep everyone’s eyes wide open.
