This scene, along with several others, are perhaps my favorite of the scenes from Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, "Barry Lyndon." It is perhaps the most beautiful film ever created.

This is technically one of the most awe inspiring acts of camera work in movie history. Kubrick wanted to film these candlelit scenes by real candlelight alone, which at the time was technically impossible due to camera and film limitations. So Kubrick bought a unique low light camera lens from NASA that was specially designed for use by Apollo astronauts on the Moon. He then had a movie camera engineer completely rebuild a huge movie camera just to use this lens. Then to get max candle light, he had special candles made from highly volatile wax, and had the candles made with three wicks in each. That's why the candle flames are so large, and the candles are all so short. Each candle only lasted a few minutes, but the special camera and super bright candles got Kubrick his candlelit scenes. This is characteristic of the almost insane level of detail Kubrick made all his films. And THAT is genius..

In earlier reactions was asked who the singer is in the cavatina by Paisiello. It is Nicola Monti in the 1959 recording by Mercury. It is on youtube on Il barbiere di Siviglia Paisiello parte 4 I am very convinced that it is still the best barber by Paisiello on record. He also recorded the barber by Rossini many times. It is fun to see Monti with Panerai on youtube singing to duet in the Rossini barber, but it is in black and white. For me Monti also did the best Elisir by Donizetti in 1952. All tenors today can still learn a lot from him. The movie is amazing. I never saw anything of it before.

I've been too lazy to purchase a copy, I would have taped the movie if I saw it on TV but for some reason I never did. I love how Kubrick is so detailed, such as the "beauty patches" worn by the characters in this scene. Everything about "Barry Lyndon" is perfection.

It is a night scene and the ONLY illmumination is by scores of candles--exactly as it would have been in the 18th century.
