Next in our Xmas-themed retro $5 Wednesday series is Stanley Kubrick's final masterpiece, his sexual thriller epic starring then-couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, EYES WIDE SHUT! It may not fit the traditional classification of a Christmas film, but like most things with Kubrick - the fact that it takes place during the holidays isn’t arbitrary! Based on Arthur Schnitzler’s 1928 novel Dream Story, Kubrick transposed the story from 1900s Vienna to 1990s New York and changed the Mardi Gras setting to Christmas.

After his wife, Alice, tells him about her sexual fantasies, William Harford sets out for a night of sexual adventure. After several less than successful encounters, he meets an old friend, Nick Nightingale - now a musician - who tells him of strange sex parties when he is required to play the piano blindfolded. All the men at the party are costumed and wear masks while the women are all young and beautiful. Harford manages to find an appropriate costume and heads out to the party. Once there, however, he is warned by someone who recognizes him, despite the mask, that he is in great danger. He manages to extricate himself but the threats prove to be quite real and sinister.
