For his final masterpiece, Kubrick created a daydream of Manhattan on a UK soundstage and cast a real-life super couple from mainstream cinema, enhancing the unreality of this film, which plays like one long, sinister erotic fantasy. A physician (Cruise) wanders the streets of New York following confessions from his wife (Kidman), which leads to a series of ethereal sexual provocations.
With Merry Christmas (1967-1969). Directed by Jerome Hill.
