Eyes Wide Shut: Hidden In Plain Sight (2nd Edition) (MISE-EN-SCÈNE / MISE-EN-ABYME)
Explore the cinematic genius of Stanley Kubrick in Eyes Wide Shut, focusing on his unparalleled mastery of mise-en-scène—the meticulous placement and arrangement of every detail within the frame. From constructed sets replicating 1999 New York to symbolic objects like book titles and background imagery, Kubrick’s attention to visual storytelling elevates the film into an intricate narrative experience.
We also delve into mise-en-abyme, the recursive “image within an image” effect, and how it amplifies the film’s themes of duality, mirroring, and descent into an abyss. This house-of-mirrors storytelling creates a multidimensional web of symbols, time structures, and metacinematic references, crafting what can only be described as a Kubrickian Rubik’s Cube of artistic complexity.
Join us as we unpack this prismatic masterpiece and uncover the layers of meaning in one of Kubrick’s most enigmatic works.

►About:
I’m just a regular guy living in a small rural town in Texas. My love for movies and video games has shaped who I am today. I’m especially passionate about the works of Stanley Kubrick and spend a lot of time researching his films and creative vision. When I’m not diving deep into Kubrick’s genius, I’m making my own music or producing fan music videos inspired by the tracks I love.
You can also catch me over on my gaming channel, where my wife and I kick back and play old-school games together—it’s all about good vibes and nostalgic fun. Come hang out with us! / @togetheratthejoystick
