this is the third time i watch Barry Lyndon today and i can't stop myself writing a comment on it...Kubrick is a genius, his work is outstanding with beautiful cinematography, costumes, acting and music..it is one of the best adaptations I've ever seen and a few of them can give the impression of their period...acting, gestures and the use of language captures the period, gives the feeling of 18th century as well...i have nothing to say about his directing which i always appreciate but especially in this work of his, he created painting like scenes which i haven't seen else where...i also like the episodic way of story telling which leads us to follow redmond's journey of experiences in different fields..and of course his genius to shot scenes under the light of candle lit, without artificial light... it is a great pleasure to watch a film like this, thanks Kubrick...
