BARRY LYNDON (1975) - 11/11/2019

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2020)

A fabulous picaresque tale - satirical and tragic - in which we see Kubrick make every splendid shot look like an authentic 18th-century painting while using a cynical and essentially cold approach to recount a long series of barely connected episodes in our anti-hero's ill-fated life. Barry Lyndon is fantastic and amazingly helmed by Stanley Kubrick that boasts great performances and a revolutionary direction.
