Barry Lyndon
Directed by Stanley Kubrick
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, Hawk Films
A visually sumptuous, morally austere portrait of an opportunistic rogue's rise and fall through 18th-century society, told with painterly precision and detached irony.
An Irish rogue uses his cunning and wit to work his way up the social classes of 18th century England, transforming himself from the humble Redmond Barry into the noble Barry Lyndon.
