SUMMARY:🎭🕯️ Eyes Wide Shut - marriage\, desire\, and rich-people ni
 ghtmare rituals
DESCRIPTION:VIFF movie outing - public screening\, optional short chat afte
 r.\n\nShort summary\n\nSome movies get called mysterious because they are 
 empty. Eyes Wide Shut is mysterious because it keeps looking back at you. 
 Kubrick’s final film is about marriage\, desire\, jealousy\, secrecy\, p
 erformance\, fantasy\, class\, money\, and the weird little theatre people
  build around what they want but cannot admit. It is also one of the great
  rich-people-nightmare movies. Everyone is performing. Everyone is hiding 
 something. Everyone seems both overexposed and unknowable. That is why thi
 s is worth seeing in a theatre. Not for a clean explanation. Not for a puz
 zle solution. A real conversation about marriage\, power\, erotic imaginat
 ion\, status\, fear\, and whether honesty is actually possible between two
  people.\n\nA few questions already sitting in my head\n\n• “Is this m
 ovie about desire\, jealousy\, marriage\, or humiliation?”\n• “What 
 does Bill actually want\, and does he know?”\n• “Is Alice more hones
 t than Bill\, or just more frightening because she can say the quiet part?
 ”\n• “Why does wealth make the movie feel dreamlike and rotten at th
 e same time?”\n• “Are the rituals powerful\, ridiculous\, terrifying
 \, or all three?”\n• “Does the ending feel like reconciliation\, def
 eat\, or just a temporary ceasefire?”\n\nHow the evening will go\n\nWe
 ’ll meet at VIFF Centre before the screening\, watch the film together\,
  and whoever still has energy can stay for a short chat after. This is a p
 ublic VIFF screening\, not a private Meetup event. Please buy your own VIF
 F ticket while available.\n\nTicket note\n\nBuy your VIFF ticket here\n\nW
