Fiercely jealous, Bill takes to the streets, where his own sexual desires are fueled with the help of prostitutes and a swanky masked orgy.<br /><br />The film is pointlessly too long and it features performances that are too rigid to suit, but it nevertheless has strokes of genius.<br /><br />As you'd expect from Kubrick, this is a cerebral film that works on several levels--the illusory, the real, the ethereal and everything that falls in between.<br /><br />It is, in fact, Kubrick’s close examination of what falls in between--and how that relates to human relationships--that makes his 13th and final feature film worth seeing.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rated R.
