Stanley Kubrick’s final movie is filled with orgies and nightmares — and makes for a great Christmas movie

And when Stanley Kubrick made a decision, there were no half-measures. On the contrary, he took things to the other extreme, turning Bill and Alice Harford into the Mitt and Ann Romney of the Upper West Side, planting a Christmas tree in nearly every scene, and — in much the same way as he had previously used candlelight to create the chiaroscuro world of— flooding the film’s interiors with the opioid haze of holiday lights so that every room feels tongue-kissed by temptation.

And as if that weren’t enough, the movie’s pleasures were further — and quite literally — obscured by the CGI silhouettes that had to be layered over the infamous orgy scene in order to appease the MPAA. That last twist of the knife was particularly ironic, asis nothing if not a story about the need to discern the difference between reality and the various tricks we use to disguise it.
