Barry Lindon is perhaps Kubrick´s best work. At least from a purely aesthetic point of view. This is the most polished movie of his filmography. The brand new technology he used and the possibility of filming in candlelight gives the scenes a wonderful air of a eighteenth century-piece of art.
Rather than a motion picture, Barry Lindon is at times like a motion painting. An elegant old painting come to life. A true show, and pleasure, for the eye.
Barry Lindon, 1975. Stanley Kubrick
