Product ReviewsBarry Lyndon (DVD, 2007)

Barry Lyndon was a good title, it shows the falsity of Redmond Barry as he came to be known.

Stanley Kubrick was one of Americ's true masters and artists to have lived in the 20th century. His like will not be around again very soon, but we have his work as a memento of his craft and excellence and videlity to his artistic vision. He was also a well beloved father and family man, who is dearly remembered by his wife and daughters.
A person cannot aspire to be one like he.....a person is born in that way, and Kubrick always exhibited humility and benevolence to his fellow man.

Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon

This is one of the great sleeper movies of all times. Kubrick's movies are always visually stunning and this one is the best. Although the picture is long and drags in some places it is well worth the time spent. The costumes are the best ever and the photography is out of this world. One part of the movie is filmed in candle light only. Kubrick had to have special cameras built to film in the low light and keep the bright colors in the Eastmancolor film. The cameras had f-0.7 50mm Zeiss lenses, making the depth of field small, but the look is wonderful. Winner of 4 Oscars for Cinematography, Art Direction-Set Decoration, Costume Design and Music Scoring Original Song Score and/or Adaptation. Nominated for Oscars in, Best Director, Best Picture and Best Writing, Screenplay Adapted From Other Material. If you ever get a chance to see this in a theater don't pass it up. The next best way to watch is on a big screen TV with the lights down low. Like all Kubrick movies the more times you watch the more little things you pick up, Kubrick is the master of the small details and this one is packed with them.Read full review...

Something for Everyone

This movie was created to satisfy a broad audience. Even if you don't like any of the story I do think the cinematography will be worth watching.

Barry Lyndon

To be honest theres nothing i didnt like about this movie. The movie is a great piece of art. Its one of stanley Kubrick best work. The images in the movie are beautiful. I personally think its the most beautiful movie ever. But this movie isnt for everybody cuz the movie is a little over 3 hours long and its a slow paced movie and you have to watch it when you have time, and if you're that type of person that likes faced paced movies or action, over the top CGI then this movie isnt for u. But if you're into Kubrick Films, or have taste of good filming making, or just love any kind of films then give it a try and you wont be dissapointed.Read full review...

Long drawn-out old fashioned costume drama.

The only good things about this movie are the costumes and scenery. The plot takes an awfully long time to work itself out.
It's hard to guess who is the worse actor, Ryan O'Neill or Marisa Berenson. She is wigged, hatted and dressed to look like a live version of a Gainsborough portrait, and that's amazing. Unfortunately, when she opens her mouth, you'll wish she'd remained silent. Ryan O'Neill was clearly chosen for his matinee idol looks. He does nothing to develop the character as the decades pass by.
It was a really big hit at the time it came out, but I can't see why. Don't watch it unless you have a LOT of time to kill.Read full review...

Splendid Vistas

Barry Lyndon is not much of a movie. It goes nowhere. However, if you want a movie where every frame is an 18th century painting with splendid vistas and panoramas, this one's for you. A masterpiece of visual splendor suitable for framing.Read full review...
