Review of Barry Lyndon (1975) by Jonathan Rosenbaum for Chicago Reader — 07 May 2007
Despite its ponderous, funereal moods and pacing, the film is a highly accomplished piece of storytelling, building to one of the most suspenseful duels ever staged. It also repays close attention as a complex and fascinating historical meditation, as enigmatic in its way as 2001: A Space Odyssey.
