In this lavish adaptation of William M. Thackeray’s classic novel The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq, legendary director Stanley Kubrick reimagines the rise and fall of a sensitive and dashing rogue. Forced to leave Ireland after killing an English officer in a duel, handsome young Redmond Barry seeks his fortune as a soldier in Prussia, as a spy then as a gambler living among the elite of Europe. He changes his name and marries an aristocrat for her wealth, but the acceptance he seeks eventually eludes him.
Kubrick’s four-time Academy Award-winning epic showcases an equally meticulous pursuit of excellence in its use of classical music. Much like the film’s period-accurate art direction, the 18th-century musical pieces, such as Bach’s Concerto for Two Harpsichords in C minor, BWV 1060: II. Adagio, performed by The English Concert, lends the film a profound sense of historical gravity.
