Criminally (not by Barry on this occasion) overlooked Kubrick work

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2019)

Stanley Kubrick film that is criminally overlooked in his relatively small filmography of great films.
Lyndon is a part historical cum period drama yarn based on the book The Luck of Barry Lyndon of 1844 by William Thackeray.
A three hour epic that doesn't seem like your watching such a long film. Every scene endures in the memory. Be it contributions from the cast and/or the many filmmaking talents some of the best British cinema has produced.
I am talking not only of Kubrick himself, but the likes of legendary set designer Ken Adam, who no doubt the more Bondian fans will fondly remember.
Each scene is quite literally like a classical painting it appears! In terms of locations used, lighting and camera angles used by Kubrick.
Even NASA lenses were used to elicit more light from candlelit interiors.
Kubrick films are known for their legendary use of classical music (2002: A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange spring to mind). Barry Lyndon has the same musical history.
