À propos de ce contenu audio
On this episode of Late Fee Files, we crack open one of the strangest double features imaginable, two late 90s studio films that couldn’t look more different on the surface but quietly reflect the same era of shifting identities, relationships, and urban fantasy.
Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut takes us on a chilly, dreamlike odyssey through jealousy, desire, and power, using New York as a haunting maze where intimacy feels distant and unknowable. We dig into the film’s hypnotic pacing, its infamous secrecy, and why its emotional coldness continues to divide audiences decades later.
Then we pivot to You’ve Got Mail, a glossy romantic comedy that transforms the same city into a cozy storybook of bookstores, emails, and pre-digital connection. We explore Nora Ephron’s warm, meticulously structured comfort cinema, the chemistry between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, and how the film captures a very specific moment when technology still felt hopeful rather than alienating.
Together, these films offer two visions of romance at the turn of the millennium, one defined by paranoia and erotic anxiety, the other by charm and carefully curated optimism. It’s a study in tonal whiplash, late-90s cultural mood, and identity.
