It is worth seeing for the duel alone

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 1999)

I was watching TV one morning when Barry Lyndon came on the set. Because I missed the opening credits I didn't even know that Stanley had anything to do with this picture. In fact I though this picture was made in the mid 90's due to its spectacular photography. I was sucked into the movie and was captured by its very moment. I must say though, that the best scene in the whole movie is the duel between Barry and his stepson. I heard it took 42 days to edit this scene alone, and I must say it is worth it. The music and direction and fantastic. I was surprised to learn that Stanley directed this movie, since it was in such contrast to A Clockwork Orange.
So I say see it, as it is pure art as a motion picture.
