Movie Reviews of Barry Lyndon
Movie Review: Favorite Kubrick Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this is my favorite Stanley Kubrick film,and he has so many great films.Barry Lyndon is a great screenplay surrounded by wonderful scenery draped in the elegant costumes of the eighteenth century,and enveloped in the beautiful timeless music that came from the age.Stanley Kubrick's brings out a superb performance by Ryan O'Neal,and Marisa Berenson in this poignant tale of an Irish youth struggles and travails of making his place in an era where good fortune and ruthlessness go hand and hand in making ones mark in society.I enjoy this film everytime I see it.
Movie Review: Exquisite historical story and detail
Summary: 5 Stars
One of Stanley Kubrick's best movies; also one of Ryan O'Neal's best. Period details are exquisite and lush, on par with Merchant & Ivory films. It helps to be familiar with English history to be truly comfortable with the long, slow story, the point of the narration, and the complex layers of society with the story set in 1844; however, one doesn't need to be a history buff to appreciate all the technical merits of this extraordinary film. This film will definitely transport the viewer to a different time in space...Kubrick's specialty.Movie Review: Barry Lyndon a glance at a great film.
Summary: 5 Stars
Barry Lyndon is a remarkable film presenting the unusual voyage of an Irish commoner into the great European courts and aristocracy.
There is irony in the telling of this brilliant film, (like Voltaire's Candide) but also there is great humanity in Barry
Lyndon. Through Barry's imperfect life, one cannot help to experience an intense compassion for this charming man. The music is haunting and powerful, it is a beautifully made film; I highly recommend it.
Movie Review: Kubrick's Greatest Film
Summary: 5 Stars
Barry Lyndon, released in 1975, a 3 hour costume drama based on an obscure Thackeray novel about an Irish rogue, comes as close to perfection as any Stanley Kubrick film. Beautifully filmed and with a score featuring Schubert's piano trio in E flat and Vivaldi's cello concerto in E minor, the film is slowly paced to reflect the pace of life of the era depicted.
Until the blu-ray version of Barry Lyndon is released, we will have to be satisfied with the 2007 DVD.
Movie Review: A little watched masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
Stanley Kubrick, was perhaps, our greatest film maker. And 'Barry Lyndon', was one of his greatest efforts. Not too well received, by critics or fans, it is perhaps my favorite Kubrick film. Meticulous, slow-moving, every frame could be freeze-framed and mounted on the wall. It is one of the most gorgeous looking films in the history of cinema. Take a break from the fast paced shoot-um-ups, and settle down with this film. It will take your breath away.
