Desire and Crisis: The Operation of Cinematic Masks in Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut Authors Stephanie Marriott Université Paris 8 Abstract El análisis del texto fílmico Eyes Wide Shut, Stanley Kubrick se convierte en el punto de partida de una reflexión en torno a la mascarada de la vida posmoderna, pero también en torno al espejismo de la mirada que ayuda a consolidar las máscaras. El deseo se convierte en el generador del proceso y la película de Kubrick no es más que su metáfora metateórica. El cine, la publicidad y en general los discursos de los mass media que recorren la cultura popular de nuestros días conocen estos juegos y el espectador queda atrapado en su práctica.
