Epic and dazzling in every way you can imagine

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2019)

Masterpiece - Kubrick was one of the most astute and vertically integrated directors ever, with script, production, and direction all done by him and many of other movies. Barry Lyndon is an epic, beautifully penciled story of opportunism, meticulously calculated revenge, and ultimately, self-destruction. If you enjoy perfect, natural light cinematography on 35mm and period pieces, prepare to be dazzled !! Every scene is like an 18th century painting with layer after layer of interpretative possiblity.
