Summary
Eyes Wide Shut: A Screenplay is a compelling dual offering that combines the complete screenplay of Stanley Kubrick’s final and most enigmatic film with Arthur Schnitzler’s 1926 novella Dream Story, the work that inspired it. This rare Warner Books first edition captures the full intensity of the psychological drama that unfolds as a successful Manhattan doctor embarks on a surreal, sexually charged odyssey through the shadowy corridors of desire, identity, and fidelity.
Crafted with Kubrick’s legendary precision and brought to life in collaboration with screenwriter Frederic Raphael, the screenplay delves deep into the human psyche, echoing themes of alienation, fantasy, and moral ambiguity. Included alongside the script, Schnitzler’s novella allows readers to explore the literary roots of the film’s dreamlike narrative. A must-have for collectors, film students, and lovers of bold cinematic storytelling.
