"He wants to step into my SHOES! He wants to step into MY shoes!"

Rating: Null/10 (29 April 2002)

This film is like talking a very long walk. This film defines what is the picturesque film. Instead of just making everything look beautiful, every scene is intended to be some sort of a living painting. The film invites you to step into Barry Lyndon's shoes and takes you on a moralistic journey through his life. The action really gets interesting in the second half after Barry gets his name. So much of the film is perfectly framed for its spot in the movie, including the title sequence. Also, a bit of trivia, the actor that plays the wonderful character of Lord Bullington that is "Lyndon"'s nemesis throughout the second part is the same actor that plays Redcloak in Eyes Wide Shut, and gives a great charismatic performance.
