Traumnovelle (1969) ***1/2

Traumnovelle, a 1969 Austrian/German TV movie is based on the same novella that Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut (1999) was based on and the similarities are quite striking. Kubrick definitely realized the story to a degree that this film was unable to, thanks in part to a doubled run-time, but the scenes and plot points are largely the same. Some of the dialogue is even identical. I hope some day this gets a home video release, as I watched a YouTube rip—the only known version I've seen anywhere.
