Overview
One of Stanley Kubrick’s most intricately crafted cinematic sagas, Barry Lyndon at last graces the Golden Screen in all visual splendour, wry humour and historic grandeur. A sprawling adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray’s novel, Barry Lyndon chronicles the adventures of an incorrigible charlatan (Ryan O’Neal) whose schemes deliver him from a lowly Irish farm, to the bloody battlefields of the Seven Years’ War, to the halls of high society. Through duels, firefights, gambling, subterfuge and sheer luck, Barry swindles his way to fame and fortune, but keeping riches proves to be his greatest challenge.
Why See This Film
Lit primarily by the sun and candles with pioneering cinematographic techniques, exquisite real locations and lavish period accurate costumes to evoke the look of an eighteenth-century painting, it's no wonder Barry Lyndon took home four Oscars for cinematography, art design, costume and score in 1976. Coming in at #12 in the 2022 Sight and Sound directors’ poll and ranking among the all time favourites of Martin Scorsese, Lars Von Trier and Akira Kurosawa, Barry Lyndon is an essential work in Kubrick’s oeuvre.
