A true work of art

Rating: Null/10 (14 December 2003)

Kubrick is one of the few true cenematic artists. The screen is his canvas, the camera his brush and his direction the brush strokes. Barry Lyndon is, in reality, a series of oil paintings, made apparent by the perfect natural lighting and the way the camera holds each exposure...as though through the lens of a Konica. Each one you'd swear belongs in a gallary. This necessarily drags the movie down to a slow walk...but if you'll just sit back, turn down the lights, and sip your favorite beverage...slowly...and develop a 'gallary' mindset as you watch this film (preferrably on a DVD), you'll absolutely love it.
