Review of Barry Lyndon (1975) by Alex R — 01 Aug 2011

Stanley Kubrick has long been a master of cinema way before the release of Barry Lyndon. He broke new ground in the cinematic medium with 2001, a dazzling space epic that has some of the greatest special effects put to film.

His techniques and dedication to his craft were unmatched. With Barry Lyndon, he crafted yet another stunning picture that broke new ground in the way it was filmed. Barry Lyndon is a very long film, but is a broad film with an epic story.

I've never seen a Ryan O'Neal film, but I have to say his performance in Barry Lyndon is terrific. Barry Lyndon is a phenomenal film from Kubrick, who has never made a single bad film. I'm glad I finally got around in seeing this film, because it's truly a unique piece of cinema worth watching.

I love how Kubrick used special lenses to film in natural, and it makes the film look more realistic and astounding overall. Barry Lyndon is an expertly crafted period piece that will definitely appeal to Kubrick fans.

If you haven't seen this film, then give it a view as soon as you can. What I love about the film is the constant conflict that the lead character endures throughout the film. The acting, and directing are brilliant and this is a film that shouldn't be overlooked.

Stanley Kubrick has long mastered many film genres, and he's done a phenomenal job at capturing the essence and feel of a period piece set in the 18th century on film. The result is a classic film with a great story.
