An appreciation of Eyes Wide Shut
1999 was an amazing year in movies, and almost as importantly, an amazing year in movie soundtracks. There were a lot of movies that year (Rushmore, Magnolia, Iron Giant) that made me say “holy fucking shit” after seeing them. Incidentally, I was still in film school in 1999, making a documentary and trying (unsuccessfully) to make a narrative short. My professor was JP Gorin, who worked with Jean Luc Goddard. So all around quite a film year for me.
