"Pure cinema. Its aching beauty will wipe you out." -Frank Rich, New York Post
How does an Irish lad without prospects become part of the 18th-century English nobility? For Barry Lyndon (Ryan O'Neal) the answer is: any way he can! His climb to wealth and privilege is the enthralling focus of this sumptuous Stanley Kubrick version of William Makepeace Thackeray's novel.
For this ravishing, slyly satiric winner of 4 Academy Awards®, Kubrick found inspiration in the works of the era's painters. Costumes and sets were crafted in the era's designs and pioneering lenses were developed to shoot interiors and exteriors in natural light. The result? Barry Lyndon endures as a cutting-edge movie that brings a historical period to vivid screen life like no other film before or since.

BARRY LYNDON - 3 out of 5 (8/16/2001)
Of all the remastered Kubrick DVDs, BARRY LYNDON is the single film that will benefit the most of all of the titles, even though it is not the best DVD in the set. This is because it captures more of the intended color schemes and beauty that make the film such an amazing visual experience, which can only make it easier than ever for the viewer to get more easily involved with the elaborate narrative.
Based on William Makepeace Thackeray's most-ironically titled "The Luck Of Barry Lyndon" fr
