Influences


I just saw this at a local theater and couldn't help to notice how much similarities it had with The Shining(not only from a cinematographic point of view)and Eyes Wide Shut (the sexual undertones and to inability to discern fantasy from reality in this movie) The dance scene between Nicole Kidman and Sky du Mont seem to be directly lifted out of this movie.

Yeah Kubrick has said that he loved this movie and got inspiration from it. Also, I think it inspired Lars Von Trier (specifically Melancholia)

No expectations, no disappointments.
