How does an Irish lad without prospects become part of the 18th-century English nobility? For Barry Lyndon (Ryan O’Neal) the answer is: any way he can! Barry is a pining suitor, a duellist, a vagabond, a soldier in the Seven Years War, a rogue, a spy, a card shark - all way stations on the climb to wealth and privilege in this sumptuous Stanley Kubrick version of William Makepeace Thackery’s novel. To craft this lovingly mounted, slyly satirical film, Kubrick found inspiration in the works of the era’s painters. Costumes and sets were meticulously crafted in the era’s designs and pioneering lenses were developed to shoot interiors and exteriors in natural light. The result? Barry Lyndon endures as a cutting-edge movie that brings a historical period to vivid screen life like no other film before or since.
