Review of Barry Lyndon (1975) by Jason M — 30 Jan 2016
One of top 5 most striking-looking movies. Unlike There Will Be Blood, Barry Lyndon can tackle a scoundrel protagonist in an eminently watchable way, while remaining properly scathing. Dark satire...Humor! There Will Be Blood feels like the grandson of this film except the grandson doesn't get the joke and is only interested in destruction rather than correction, and this film remembers the virtue of DELIGHTING THE AUDIENCE.
Did I mention the cinematography? Well, I'm doing it again.
