Barry Lyndon

A certified classic, and for good reason. Dazzling on every front. Kubrick has a way of capturing the elegance of each scene and the beauty of each landscape. Within this perfectly pristine package is drama, tragedy, violence, and an immense amount of comedy. “Your hand is in everybody’s pie…” The satirical dialogue is only a fraction of the film’s excellence. The score of this movie is second to none. The Baroque style is very fitting, and the use of the harpsichord throughout the entire film adds even more loveliness. Kubrick is a creative in every format: film, visual art, music, and literature. Barry Lyndon, an epic I will surely be rewatching many times throughout my life.
