The Cinematic Odyssey

On the 51st episode of The Cinematic Odyssey, Max and Tristen tackle the enigmatic, seductive, and oh so frightful final film from the cinematic legend Stanley Kubrick. As it was tradition with Kubrick and his work, Eyes Wide Shut was mired in controversy. Ranging from the taboo themes and scenes, the record-breaking filming period, Kubrick's untimely death, studio intervention, and a lot more. Max and Tristen discuss the wild ride that is Eyes Wide Shut, the final film to cap Kubrick's immaculate body of work and the film that he claimed to be his "greatest contribution to the art of cinema."
