Themes Characters Plot
Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut (1999) similarly transformed Schnitzler's Dream Story into a modern city setting…
…the doctor in Schnitzler’s Traumnovelle or Dream Story, filmed by Kubrick as Eyes Wide Shut…
Arthur Schnitzler (who wrote the 1926 novella “Dream Story” on which Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut” was based)…
…also author of the book that became “Eyes Wide Shut”…
Perhaps the most popular and enduring cinematic adaptation of Austrian dramatist Arthur Schnitzler’s work is Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut, which moved the action of the novella Dream Story from 1900 Vienna to 1999 New York City.
…an 1890s novella by Arthur Schnitzler, whose work also served as the basis for Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut…
…partly channels Lisa Minnelli’s Sally Bowles in Cabaret…
…she’s a potent cocktail of Liza Minelli in Cabaret and Barbra Streisand in What’s Up, Doc?
Greta Lee in full Jenna Maroney from 30 Rock mode…
…in the film’s funniest moments, Dafoe tries to blend in with his new young posse with the same ease of Steve Buscemi infiltrating high schools in 30 Rock…
More than any other visually comparable New York film is the memory of Jonathan Nossiter’s Sunday, whose plot and vision of the city seem like precursors to this adaptation of Late Fame.
As was the case with her screenplay for “May December,” she takes a discerning look at the destructive nature of fame and misplaced adulation.
…scripted by Samy Burch (May December)…
It's written by Samy Burch, the writer behind May December (2024, a film that I remain gobsmacked didn't catapult both her and star Charles Melton into A-list territory)…
While May December screenwriter Samy Burch has carefully crafted a host of vibrant characters based on Arthur Schnitzler’s story…
…a screenplay by Samy Burch (May December)…
Oscar-nominated screenwriter Samy Burch (“May December”)…
…she’s a potent cocktail of Liza Minelli in Cabaret and Barbra Streisand in What’s Up, Doc?
Meyers’ literary gang calls to mind the proudly pretentious strivers of Whit Stillman movies — Metropolitan, especially — elite-adjacent types determined to make use of their own sense of self awareness.
Greta Lee is really doing it for the gays with her Gloria, a perfect combination of Dianne Wiest and Jennifer Tilly in Bullets over Broadway.
Think the bohemians from Moulin Rouge!, only if they came from old money and were enrolled at NYU.
…played gorgeously by Greta Lee, the luminous star of “Past Lives,” a film also alerts to clashing times and cultures…
It’s great to see Lee in another substantial role since Past Lives, which highlights her incredible dramatic talent.
…it’s Lee’s (Past Lives) pitch-perfect performance that turns Gloria into a richly drawn character.
…the mysterious and seductive Gloria (“Past Lives” knockout Greta Lee)…
Gloria (Greta Lee, "Past Lives")…
…the subtly earth-shattering performances that made her an indie darling in films like Past Lives…
…a bon vivant who drops by on “Downton Abbey.”
A spectacular New York double feature with Peter Hujar’s Day.
…some of these scenes do indeed feel very reminiscent of similar scenes of that movement in Kill Your Darlings (dir. John Krokidas, 2013)…
A comparable opening that is more balanced and deliberate is Antoine Fuqua’s The Equalizer, which better acquaints the audience with the protagonist and his quiet routines before revealing the qualities that have been hidden.
…were perhaps radicalized by watching Dead Poets Society once…
Schnitzler has furnished original stories for a number of films, including Eyes Wide Shut and the magnificent La Ronde.
In terms of story, Noah Baumbach’s While We’re Young is a recent comparison, also the story of a zealous young artist seeking to learn at the feet of an elder, or at least a midlifer.
She has the fashionable style of Maxine from Russian Doll…
