Kubrick's use of classical music is, of course, a hallmark of his filmmaking style. He often employed music to create a sense of irony or contrast, highlighting the disconnect between the on-screen action and the audience's emotional response. In "Eyes Wide Shut," the classical compositions work to create a sense of unease and tension, underscoring the film's themes of repression and desire.
Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut (1999) features a soundtrack assembled from classical pieces, pre-existing recordings, and original cues compiled to support the film’s dreamlike, nocturnal atmosphere. Unlike many films with a single composer, Eyes Wide Shut’s music is a curated collection that plays a central role in mood and narrative. This paper explores that compilation, how artists have revisited its material through covers, and how FLAC as a distribution format relates to fidelity and preservation.
