One of the most striking aspects of "Eyes Wide Shut" is its use of cinematic techniques to create a sense of unease and disorientation. Kubrick's deliberate pacing, coupled with the eerie score and striking visuals, draws the viewer into the protagonist's world, making it difficult to distinguish between what is real and what is a product of his imagination.
It is impossible to review Eyes Wide Shut without acknowledging the censorship controversy. For the North American theatrical and DVD release, Warner Bros. digitally added cloaked figures to obscure the graphic content of the ritual scene to secure an R-rating. eyes wide shut mkv fixed
