[[Stanley Kubrick]]'s last film, completed just days before his death in 1999. It follows Dr. Bill Harford (played by [[Tom Cruise]]) as he spends two noirish, surreal nights on his sexually charged adventures wandering New York City when his wife Alice (played by Cruise's then wife [[Nicole Kidman]]) reveals that she had contemplated an affair a year earlier.

=== ''[[Eyes Wide Shut]]'' provides examples of: ===

* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: Most of the episodes in the original novella are adapted one to one, with some minor differences. Some larger changes exist though: In the film, the party is explicitly shown to be an orgy, whereas in the book this was just strongly hinted at. The big [[The Reveal|Reveal]] in the end is also an addition, as the "''Traumnovelle''" left the story fairly open.

* [[All Just a Dream]]: ''Very'' subtle hints in the movie provide clues that this is so. [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Eyes Wide Shut.]]
