You can’t end a career with more enduring mystery than Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut.” John DiLillo returns to explore how the film still reverberates (perhaps too conspiratorially) in the culture, the volumes it suggests about Tom Cruise, and why it’s a movie about learning the hard way to deal with marital complexity.

I’ll add that this is the conclusion of Kick #4, but we’ll close out the year with a series on the best (or rather, most beloved) films of 2024.
