Barry Lyndon
Barry Lyndon is a 1975 period drama film written and directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on the 1844 novel" The Luck of Barry Lyndon" by William Makepeace Thackeray.
It stars Ryan O'Neal, Marisa Berenson, Patrick Magee, Leonard Rossiter and Hardy Krüger.
The film recounts the early exploits and later unravelling of a fictional 18th- century Irish rogue and opportunist who marries a rich widow to climb the social ladder and assume her late husband's aristocratic position.
Kubrick began production on Barry Lyndon after his 1971 film," A Clockwork Orange".
Kubrick had originally intended to direct a biopic on Napoleon, but lost his financing due to the commercial failure of a similar film," Waterloo".
Kubrick eventually directed Barry Lyndon, set during the Seven Years' War, utilising his research from his Napoleon project.
Filming lasted roughly 8 months, beginning in December 1973, and took place in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and West Germany.
The film's cinematography has been described as ground- breaking.
Especially notable are the long double shots, usually ended with a slow backwards zoom, the scenes shot entirely in candlelight, and the settings based on William Hogarth paintings.
The exteriors were filmed on location in Ireland, England and West Germany, with the interiors shot mainly in London.
The production was troubled; there were problems related to logistics, weather, and even politics( Kubrick feared that he might be an IRA hostage target), while the relationship between Kubrick and O'Neal was especially fraught and difficult.
O' Neal's perceived lack of on- screen depth and ability to portray a character arc have been repeatedly criticised; this perception was not shared by Kubrick, who subsequently praised O'Neal's performance.
" Barry Lyndon" won four Oscars in production categories at the 1975 Academy Awards.
Although some critics took issue with the film's slow pace and restrained emotion, its reputation, like that of many of Kubrick's works, has strengthened over time, with many now regarding it as one of his greatest achievements.

Stanley Kubrick
Stanley Kubrick( July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999) was an American film director, screenwriter, and producer.
He is frequently cited as one of the most influential filmmakers in cinematic history.
His films, which are mostly adaptations of novels or short stories, cover a wide range of genres, and are noted for their realism, dark humor, unique cinematography, extensive set designs, and evocative use of music.
Kubrick was raised in the Bronx, New York City, and attended William Howard Taft High School from 1941 to 1945.
He received average grades, but displayed a keen interest in literature, photography, and film from a young age, and taught himself all aspects of film production and directing after graduating from high school.
After working as a photographer for" Look" magazine in the late 1940s and early 1950s, he began making short films on a shoestring budget, and made his first major Hollywood film," The Killing", for United Artists in 1956.
This was followed by two collaborations with Kirk Douglas, the war picture" Paths of Glory"( 1957) and the historical epic" Spartacus"( 1960).
His reputation as a filmmaker in Hollywood grew, and he was approached by Marlon Brando to film what would become" One- Eyed Jacks"( 1961), though Brando eventually decided to direct it himself.
Creative differences arising from his work with Douglas and the film studios, a dislike of the Hollywood industry, and a growing concern about crime in America prompted Kubrick to move to the United Kingdom in 1961, where he spent most of the remainder of his life and career.
His home at Childwickbury Manor in Hertfordshire, which he shared with his wife Christiane, became his workplace, where he did his writing, research, editing, and management of production details.
This allowed him to have almost complete artistic control over his films, but with the rare advantage of having financial support from major Hollywood studios.
His first British productions were two films with Peter Sellers," Lolita"( 1962) and" Dr. Strangelove"( 1964).
A demanding perfectionist, Kubrick assumed control over most aspects of the filmmaking process, from direction and writing to editing, and took painstaking care with researching his films and staging scenes, working in close coordination with his actors and other collaborators.
He often asked for several dozen retakes of the same shot in a movie, which resulted in many conflicts with his casts.
Despite the resulting notoriety among actors, many of Kubrick's films broke new ground in cinematography.
The scientific realism and innovative special effects of( 1968) were without precedent in the history of cinema, and the film earned him his only personal Oscar, for Best Visual Effects.
Steven Spielberg has referred to the film as his generation's" big bang", and it is regarded as one of the greatest films ever made.
For the 18th- century period film" Barry Lyndon"( 1975), Kubrick obtained lenses developed by Zeiss for NASA, to film scenes under natural candlelight.
With" The Shining"( 1980), he became one of the first directors to make use of a Steadicam for stabilized and fluid tracking shots.
While many of Kubrick's films were controversial and initially received mixed reviews upon release —particularly" A Clockwork Orange"( 1971), which Kubrick pulled from circulation in the UK following a mass media frenzy —most were nominated for Oscars, Golden Globes, or BAFTA Awards, and underwent critical reevaluations.
His last film," Eyes Wide Shut", was completed shortly before his death in 1999 at the age of 70.
