    Eyes Wide Shut seems interesting too dissect as I understand there was around 20 odd minutes on the cutting room floor after the great Mr Kubrick Died.

    I’d really like to dissect the foreign Asian film ‘The Handmaiden.’

    It has the most deceptive and vengeful twist.
    It’s as if you are drawn in to this harrowing tale and you just can’t believe the finale.
    I put it up there with the original ‘The secrets in their eyes’ from a different perspective but just as surprising.
