Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
Stanley Kubrick’s final film is about many things — dreams, fidelity, dreaming of fidelity — but voyeurism becomes an important theme when Tom Cruise’s Dr. Bill Harford attempts to infiltrate a strange party with the password “fidelio.”
He thinks he can watch the passionate going-ons undetected, but this proves to be naive when he’s quickly identified — could it be the yellow cab he’s left idling outside? — and ordered to unmask and disrobe.
At this point, Eyes Wide Shut is just getting started.
