It is about a lot. And, you know, I think audiences at the time didn't quite know what to do with it because it was marketed as a conventional erotic thriller. And it will not shock you to learn that Stanley Kubrick's take on this genre is a little more esoteric. But Tom Cruise is playing this doctor, Bill Hofford, whose wife, Nicole Kidman, confesses to fantasies about another man.

It's a rare occurrence, and I think it means something. What does it mean, do you suppose? You know, if two divergent critical sensibilities can find something to admire in this film, then maybe it should be vindicated by history.

I mean, Nicole Kidman is a very prolific actress. Did you ask her about this? I did, yes. What did she say? She said that Ryan had given her something that no one's given me. And I don't know that it's the genre itself. I think in this case it was Helena. You know, she's obsessed with Adrian Lyne. She's obsessed with Paul Verhoeven. You know, she was in a Verhoeven film herself.

She has an idea of what it takes to be in these roles. But she also realized that those films had a lot of sexism in them and there were these problems.
