Kubrick modernista? Lettura di Eyes Wide Shut

In order to understand the relationship of the film Eyes Wide Shut with its source, Schnitzler's Traumnovelle, it is necessary to analyse Kubrick’s relationship with the cultural milieu of the early 20th century and modernism. Kubrick has been called the last modernist author, but in what sense can we accept this definition? This essay, through a close reading, relates the film to the philosophy of Foucault and Weininger and shows that the filmmaker through this film wants to close the modernist era and the 20th century.
