In addition to the other interesting connections (Hitchcock, Godard, Antonioni, Ophuls, BLUM IN LOVE) being made in re: EYES WIDE SHUT, it strikes me as the most self-referential of Kubrick's films. It features people a man consumed by jealousy (Elisha Cook, Jr. in THE KILLING), labyrinthine tracking shots (THE SHINING), a "seductive" nymphette (LOLITA), people in masks (THE KILLING, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, BARRY LYNDON), and so on. Of course, many other elements of the film can be contextualized in terms of Kubrick's total ouevre.
