Oh, where to begin. Kubrick's disappointing last shout proved to be one of the anticlimaxes of last year. It's mystifyingly devoid of the much-hyped eroticism, delivering instead an unnerving, but underwhelming, psychosexual drama, which involves little more than Tom Cruise stumbling around the streets of New York looking startled and confused.
DVD Extras:
Interviews with Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman courtesy of Film Four, two TV spots and production notes. A decent enough disc, but still not enough to make the movie worth owning. Admittedly, the interviews are far more absorbing than the usual run-of-the-mill promotional stuff, especially when Cruise and Kidman reveal their thoughts on Kubrick. However, the lack of widescreen is unforgivably irritating.
