Barry Lyndon

[jazzy_dave]

I have just finished watching a DVD, the three hour long Stanley Kubrick film, Barry Lyndon (from  1975) based on the William Makepeace Thackeray novel "The Luck Of Barry Lyndon". It even has a short intermission. You really do not get many films these days with an intermission.

A good but long film. The use of natural lighting without  recourse to electric lighting was quite innovative and made it such a beautiful film to watch.

This DVD was one i recently found for fifty pence in a charity shop along with another Kubrick classic "Dr. Strangelove".

I don't think I have ever gotten in to a Kubrick film. Always seem a little odd for my tastes. :p

This one s very straight forward as it is based on a 19th centruy novel depicting 18th century Georgian period.

I never managed to see Barry Lyndon. You're reminding me to look it up, thanks!
