It is Louis CK's opinion that Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut "doesn't touch earth...it takes place in an incredibly high-up, thin-oxygen world...it's not about anyone that anyone [in the audience] knows,,,the movie has this plodding tone and plodding pace, which is what [Kubrick] does here.,..if he was a comic book artist, people would say 'this is how the guy draws.' Kubrick was a masterful filmmaker, and [when I watch Eyes Wide Shut] I just say 'this is where he was at, and what his fucked-up brain was making.'"
