they have lots of sex, but in ways and in settings that would make the most hardened player blush. Their sexual mores--if one can say they have mores--might as well be from another dimension.
Where can I learn about these other dimensional sexual exploits???
Any books, articles, links, etc.
PM me if you'd rather keep this private.
Thanks
Wish I knew dude.
Kubrick, as a highly successful big studio director, was no doubt in the loop. Not saying he participated or approved, but I am willing to bet the inspiration from the orgy scene came from something he witnessed in real life at some point.
Think about it. Big-time Hollywood directors and producers. Bankers. Captains of industry. These types sit on the same boards, eat and drink at the same clubs, and would get to talking. They would be juiced in to such opportunities. This wouldn't be stuff you could just sort of worm your way into, like paying an escort to accompany you into a swingers' club.
Like I said, that was one of the big revelations of Eyes Wide Shut: If you're not on the inside, you're on the outside.
Phil,
Ever seen The Ninth Gate? If not, watch it.
Not as great as Eyes Wide, but it touches on the same themes a little bit..
I love that movie too. Roman Polanski.
I will watch Eyes Wide or The Ninth Gate any time they are on TV and I don't have anything to do.
Update:
Ha.
This is how the nytimes review starts of The Ninth Gate:
For those with an interest in seeing a dinner-theater version of ''Eyes Wide Shut,'' then look no further. Roman Polanski's ''Ninth Gate,'' with its wizened decadence -- Darius Khondji's velveteen cinematography looks as if it came out of Rembrandt's Fotomat -- and its tired stabs at comedy, is calling your name.
