The re-release of Stan­ley Kubrick’s final mas­ter­piece will be accom­pa­nied by a new doc­u­men­tary short.

On 7 March, 1999, cin­e­ma world lost one of its true vision­ar­ies. Now, a full two decades on from his untime­ly death, audi­ences are being giv­en the oppor­tu­ni­ty to revis­it the film that cement­ed Stan­ley Kubrick’s lega­cy on the big screen.

Eyes Wide Shut, about a New York City doc­tor (Tom Cruise) who dis­cov­ers a secret soci­ety of cos­tumed hedo­nists after his wife (Nicole Kid­man) reveals her sex­u­al fan­tasies to him, will screen in select UK cin­e­mas from 29 Novem­ber as part of a col­lab­o­ra­tion between Park Cir­cus and Warn­er Bros.
