Barry Lyndon

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2008)

I must say, I've expected more from this movie. Yes, I've read all the reviews and the connection with Diana & all, but still, I expected something to shine. It did, but it could have been seen from farther, if you know what I mean. Talking about the technical aspects, I couldn't but connect it to Barry Lyndon, though with more action and less playing time, of course. The pictorial scenes, the contrasts and the use of lights truly reminds me of Kubrick's picture. Especially in the couch scene near the end of the movie, where the duchess is seated on the left side of the long couch and lights coming from the window, it is kind of a rip-off from the similar scene where Barry Lyndon is seated in quite a similar manned reading to his son. Except this, I would recommend it, it's a good movie, though with some flaws. 8/10 from me.
