Barry Lyndon

Please note: this film includes a 15 minute intermission

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 finally eludes him.

'What he did for the future in 2001: A Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick in Barry Lyndon has done for the past. He has projected us into an age of amazing strangeness' - Alexander Walker, London Evening Standard
