Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise at the 'Eyes Wide Shut' Premiere in 1999

Twenty-five years ago today, Eyes Wide Shut hit U.S. theaters. Director Stanley Kubrick’s sumptuous, menacing film wowed audiences and critics with its moody examination of a couple (Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman) dealing with a crisis in their marriage, and with its frank depiction of explicit sexuality.

The Academy Award-nominated director of Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange reportedly considered the film his “greatest contribution to the art of cinema,” and Eyes Wide Shut is notable not only as Kubrick’s final film — he died just three months prior to the movie's release — but also as Cruise and Kidman’s final appearance together onscreen. The couple ended their 11-year marriage less than two years after the movie’s debut.

Needless to say, with its A-list married stars and legendary director, Eyes Wide Shut was perhaps the most anticipated film release of 1999.

On its 25th anniversary, take a look back at the film’s star-studded premiere, when some of the biggest celebrities of the ’90s turned out to see it for the first time.
