The restriction lasted for 35 years and continues to have ramifications both in China and for children brought to the U.S. The film opens Aug. 9.

The Memorable Music In "Eyes Wide Shut"
Twenty years ago this summer, Stanley Kubrick’s final film was released — four months after the director died from a heart attack. "Eyes Wide Shut" was polarizing at the time, but over the years it’s only grown as an object of appreciation and obsession. One of the most memorable sequences is a cult-like orgy that Tom Cruise attends, which features some striking music. The Frame contributor Tim Greiving visited the composer, Jocelyn Pook, in London.
