A documentary that will try to explain Eyes Wide Shut is in the works
Stanley Kubrick movies are usually widely beloved and critically acclaimed, but they’re also occasionally weird and confusing. Eyes Wide Shut in particular is famously weird and confusing, and now filmmaker Tony Zierra—the director behind Filmworker, which is about Kubrick’s assistant Leon Vitali—has told Variety that his next project will be a documentary dedicated to trying to make sense out of Eyes Wide Shut. “Many people ‘just don’t get it,” he tells Variety, adding, “It makes no sense to them. The casting doesn’t make any sense to them. The story doesn’t make any sense to them.”
