filmmaker whose films are better suited for the big screen than
Stanley Kubrick, and his sprawling 18th century epic BARRY LYNDON,
about a self-centered Irish ne'er-do-well, serves as one of the best
showcases for why that is. With his trademark attention to detail,
Kubrick and his team used specialized lenses originally developed for
NASA during the Apollo moon landings so that his candle-lit scenes
could quite literally be lit by candlelight. The effect of that alone,
paired with his grand, sweeping landscapes, makes for a visually
sumptuous and technically stunning film that is without peer decades
later. But of course, the technical details are only a part of what
made the man a legend. With a stoic lead performance from Ryan
O’Neal (LOVE STORY), Kubrick presents one of the most challenging,
enigmatic, and fascinating characters he ever put onscreen. Lovers of
Kubrick’s work will no doubt be familiar with his often dark view of
humanity, and this exploration of an irredeemable antihero willing to
do whatever it takes to climb the social ladder makes for one of the
most compelling examples ever of his unique cinematic vision.
