About 4K Film: Barry Lyndon

Released in 1975, Barry Lyndon is without a doubt one of Stanley Kubrick’s most visually stunning films.

Adapted from William Makepeace Thackeray’s novel, Barry Lyndon charts the rise and subsequent fall of Redmond Barry, a young 18th century opportunistic Irishman, accepted into aristocracy under the name of Barry Lyndon. Portraying duels, treason, and demise, Kubrick paints a cynical and cruel picture of blue-blooded society.
