Eyes Wide Shut

I'm reminded of an adage used in Bret Easton Ellis's "Glamorama": The better you look, the more you see. In the unrated version of "Eyes Wide Shut" (which is available in the US now), you do see more. I can't say the unedited footage makes the film move any faster, or makes the almost Pynchonesque conspiratorial denouement (which seems like half the movie) any more revelatory. But you do see more.
