Eyes Wide Shut

[Ckulakov]

Dear Filmmakers,

 

What do you guys think about Kubricks use of cross dissolves between certain scenes and shots vs. the conventional cut. What could have moved him to dissolve between a shot of a busy street and Bill walking through the buidling? Hitchcock also used this technique almost between every scene in his film Rebecca, is this an old style that Kubrick inherited or is this used for a certain purpose?

 

Thank You.

Well the whole movie is dreamlike. It supposed to be surreal. The setting is New York City but it was filmed in london so it looks ike a "fake" or dreamlike N.Y. City.
