Zusammenfassung:The precise source of the value of Stanley Kubrick's film "Eyes Wide Shut" still remains mysterious, at least judging from the disparate interpretations it continues to receive. Much has been written on the film's possible cognitive merits and on spectators' imaginative engagement. Giovannelli presents a number of possible interpretations of "Eyes Wide Shut" and show how they all do not quite explain the movie's enigma.
