Someone said "Barry Lyndon in today's Cinema is like good French wine at a Monster truck Show" - sums it up very nicely, i think…

[@futuropasado]

Most stunning film ever. Truly poetic, emotional. Cinema peaked in 1975 with this Kubrick film and Tarkovsky's Mirror.

[@peterelmer9114]

Joaquin Shang ; And Tarkovsky’s Stalker.

[@rushnanjaleel3386]

@@peterelmer9114 that's 1979.

[@dixi936]

Hello, you have others movies like this please ?

[@deepakbharadwaj4783]

@Kuala06 yes, both of them are equally spectacular as Barry Lyndon! Total visual treats for sure.

[@cafe1234arsenal]

And ended with Avengers: Infinity War

[@eduardohernandez-xe3xs]

Kubrick was a genius and investigated with great care the life and times of the 18th century.His film is a work of cinematic art.He captured the ambience it's like a time machine.I have seen it many times and still discover scenes that are carefully crafted

[@TheMatFratRealityTV]

Having watched this magnificent film many times, I believe it is truly a feast for the eyes...and the soul. Such a refreshing switch from hurried pacing and inexplicable action.

[@haesklar3635]

i couldn't have put it better myself

[@The22on]

Yea, man. Like, I agree wit choo. It's a flick dat's dope times ten. Me, I likes those candles. Kooblick musta used lots of dem. Respect!

[@Melissa-tw2gp]

I would kill for it to be released in theatres again!

[@lucusinfabula]

2:50 I was just thinking that Kubric was incredible in that he made visual arts and geographic prospecting keystone, arc and gateway to film-making; and the Narrator frames the complex as Kubric's touch-stone. How beautifully inspired.

[@cboyslim5490]

that scene where the step son comes home and finds him sleeping in the armchair is one of the coolest looking scenes ever. just like a moving painting

[@mubashirlatif9350]

A sublime and timeless classic!

[@DevilDogDen1775]

I first saw this incredible movie in the theater. Imagine seeing this on an IMAX screen ????

[@MildSatire]

I love the slow zoom-outs. First of all they look beautiful but they also kind of add to the existentialist/detached viewpoint that Kubrick wants us to view the characters from - the world looks so large compared to the expressions on the characters' faces by the time the zoom ends.

[@davidcabreonmunoz6258]

Genius is a powerful word, but there's no reason to use it, Less you're talking about the Kubrick, then there's really nothing to it.

[@The22on]

David Cabreón Muñoz A true genius. Isaac Asimov was the science fiction writer that other science fiction authors would call if they had a science question. In just the same way, Kubrick is the director that other directors looked up to... and still do.

[@rayopridestock3466]

Everything SK do is visionary, Every single frame a painting made exactly how SK wanna make it

[@Axgoodofdunemaul]

Maybe the greatest historical movie ever.

[@ericcolacino1825]

Amadeus is my pick for historical/costume/period drama but Barry Lyndon is fucking insane.

[@bryanchaps3647]

They just don’t make movies like they used to. It makes you use you brain a bit and admire the beautiful scenery.

[@loge10]

Well, even Kubrick, at the time, didn't make movies like they used to. He was in class all his own. Look at "2001" ten years earlier as well. Both weren't exactly hits when they came out...

[@Safwan37x]

one of the top Best 4 films to me

[@eMotionEtoile]

Most beautiful image movie ever

[@finthefilmkid.youtube]

So glad i go to stourhead woth my grandma quite a bit as to see and stand where they stood in the picture room. P. S. The very same paintings are still there.

[@josephvanburen887]

I bought this first on VHS, looked pretty good, then I bought a copy on DVD, it looked surprisingly bad, then I bought a bluray, and with a fifty inch flat screen tv, it was like watching it in a theater.

[@Telescreen5]

My favorite painting is Barry Lyndon

[@nihil8712]

My favorite coment

[@nihil8712]

your comment is my favorite.

[@imsuperman350]

Any chance we can know which rendition of Ave Maria this was at 1:20?

[@BradBrassman]

A superb film, where Barry's misplaced sense of fair play eventually cost him everything!

[@simplicius]

Very interesting short and very beautifully made. Does anyone knows what the opening music is?

[@dannoall]

It's a piece of library music called Ode To Spring by Paul Mottram www.audionetwork.com/browse/m/track/ode-to-spring_8471

[@TheTimeDetective42]

Unbelevable movie. He was guided by God in this one.

[@777jones]

Yes I really believe Kubrick was among the greatest artists in history, alongside Mozart and Da Vinci

[@imsuperman350]

What version of Ave Maria is this?

Just amazing and beautifull ❤❤❤❤❤

[@eldonmachado6241]

Gênio maior e absoluto do cinema.

[@holeymattress8128]

Not too shabby for a kid from the Bronx.

[@grainnegowen5758]

Matchless

[@oobrocks]

Sadly it lost $ on release in '75

[@davidlestermooney]

Very little, if any , interiors were shot with natural light mate.

[@raymaxwell2940]
