This is the Sundance you never heard about, nothing at all like the winter film festival, with its annual invasion of flesh-eating Hollywood toads. Every summer since 1981, a handful of wannabe directors (generally in their 20s or early 30s) have been invited to spend a month learning how to make their first feature films in the company of professional actors, directors and other wildlife, namely moose, which can be spotted from the ski lift. This year 3,000 applications arrived for the Sundance June Filmmakers/Screenwriters Lab. All but eight ended up on the cutting-room floor...
...lamb, I am the man," declares Dr. Malachi Z. York, 54, on his website. "I am the Supreme Being of This Day and Time, God in Flesh." And by the way, says the native of the planet Rizq, a spaceship is coming on May 5, 2003, to scoop up believers. The believers have been making quite a spectacle in the tiny town of Eatonton, Ga. (pop. 5,000), seat of the not much larger Putnam County (pop. 17,000). There, the man born Dwight York, of Sullivan County, N.Y., decreed the founding of Tama-Re, Egypt of the West...

But as Christiane Kubrick says, "It has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with fear," and although this is the point Kubrick very obviously wanted to make, it may not be a point audiences want to take. Indeed, the deepest daring of Eyes Wide Shut lies in the way it keeps edging viewers toward a place they want very much to go (famous people making out before the camera, for example), then dashing those hopes. It is also a movie...
...there's a bosom on display, it's usually either as a gag (the prosthetic dugs in There's Something About Mary) or a lure to humiliation (in next week's American Pie) or as power-play kink (in Summer of Sam). Nothing erotic--just the use of flesh as a tool of degradation. In the typical movie, sex is violence...
