Barry Lyndon
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Stanley Kubrick
1975 / 184min / 35mm
A sublimely blank Ryan O’Neal is an opportunistic Irishman climbing the social ladder from ambitious villager to uncommitted soldier to spoiled nobleman in Kubrick’s Thackeray adaptation, as sourly witty as it is visually sumptuous. Specially constructed NASA lenses helped Kubrick capture natural candlelight, but that’s just one of this picaresque tale’s bountiful visual splendors. It’s not easy to select just one Kubrick film, but Barry Lyndon, a favorite of many, represents the ultimate example of his meticulous mastery, and explodes the notion that his films are without emotion.
“Seeing Barry Lyndon at the Ziegfeld Theater in it’s opening run changed the way I looked at movies. The story, the cinematography, and the fantastic soundtrack totally captivated me. Right up there with Kubrick’s best.”—Tom Fleischman
