I’ll Tell You Everything
By Jeff Fecke | June 27, 2006
Digby is being facetious here, but let me be very serious. Anyone who can say the following should be barred from having any input into anything, ever:
Eyes Wide Shut is one of the most moving, playful, and complex movies I have ever seen. I love the way Stanley Kubrick expresses the film’s theme of social and psychological doubleness through a double entendrein the film’s very title–”I’s Wide Shut”–and through his choice, for the title song, of a waltz by Dmitry Shostakovich, a guileful composer famous for writing music whose subtle motifs seemed to celebrate Stalin but actually undermined him. I love the film’s spare, almost allegorical portrait of the tension and complexity at the heart of a marriage.
Eyes Wide Shut is the worst movie of all time. Even worse than Cop and 1/2.

“Mullholland Drive” is the worst movie of all time, but I can’t hate you for thinking it’s “EWS.”
