- 1. Barry Lyndon is a 1975 period drama film directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on the novel 'The Luck of Barry Lyndon' by William Makepeace Thackeray. It tells the story of the rise and fall of an Irish rogue, Barry Lyndon, who seeks to improve his station in life through a series of romantic and financial exploits in 18th century Europe. The film is noted for its stunning cinematography, which employs natural lighting and candle-lit scenes to create a visually striking aesthetic that transports the viewer to the opulent yet tumultuous world of the time. Featuring the performances of Ryan O'Neal in the titular role and Marisa Berenson as Lady Lyndon, the film explores themes of ambition, superficiality, and the social hierarchies of the era. With its slow pace and deliberate storytelling, 'Barry Lyndon' deviates from conventional narrative techniques, making it a unique entry in Kubrick's filmography and a thought-provoking meditation on the cost of pursuing wealth and status.
