Ian Whitaker’s insightful commentary guides you through rare BTS photos during
making of the Stanley Kubrick’s EWS. Includes cut scenes, how Kubrick designed his dream-like New York, the meaning behind names and well-researched answers (unlike those commonly found online) to questions like was the film censored, edited, cut or digitally altered? Why did Harvey Keitel leave Eyes Wide Shut? Was he fired? Where was the masked ball and pool room scene filmed? The answer is not the one you will find everywhere online! Was it Kubrick making a cameo in the Sonata cafe scene? From the props to the locations and costumes, Ian Whitaker’s commentary will guide you through the world Kubrick created for this masterpiece. He also looks at the film’s adaption from the novells Dream Story by Arthur Schnitzler.
