It was Stanley Kubrick's last film. And the last film Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman did together, It marked the end of many eras. sob sob.
I love the weirdness of the movie, and in particular it's introduction into modern day cults and subcultural groups that have escaped cinema recently focusing just on the norms and known. But yes even though the movie has been described by my friends as 'perverted' it just takes a mature person to understand what is actually going on. I think many people can relate to the themes in the movie as everyone goes through denial and temptation.
The costumes are fantastic and the feathery headpieces are both spooky and mental, I love the visuals in the movie. But above all I love Cruise and Kidman's chemistry, it is so real (perhaps because in real life their actual relationship was falling apart) and its gritty presence can be seen throughout; it makes the film and sucks you in.
My Favourite Bit = When the girl OD's in the bathroom, we really get a feel for how corrupted and sick some people are. A great tragic moment.
