I finally got around to watching this late 90s film the other day.
An erotic thriller starring Cruise and Kidman.
Kubrick's final film.

It is often pinpointed as Kubrick sending a message that there is a secret satanic elite.
And has been partly blamed for QAnon.

Whatever , I found it a compelling film

Kubrick's daughter has been touring conspiracy theories of late , and endorsing far right groups and ideas.

I've never seen it despite enjoying many other Kubrick films

I'll give it a go next time it crops up on TV

Amazing that it has become embroiled in QAnon and that Kubtick's daughter fans the flames

That new Adam Curtis doc mentioned how pyramids in pop videos are seen as coded messages too
