They Shot In Kubrick's Apartment

Warner Bros.

Kubrick used his own apartment to film the home of Cruise and Kidman's characters. Cruise said, "The apartment in the movie was the New York apartment [Stanley] and his wife Christianne lived in. He recreated it. The furniture in the house was furniture from their own home."

"Of course, the paintings were Christianne's paintings. It was as personal a story as he's ever done." On top of that, Cruise and Kidman slept in their characters' bedroom, even choosing the color for the curtains.
