One down! Here’s your early access to the Barry Lyndon video. I hope you like it! This video is exclusively on the cinematography of Barry Lyndon, but I’ve collected a ton of info on all the other aspects of the film as well, so there is a lot of potential for more Barry Lyndon videos in the future... if you're into that sort of thing... 

Up next... The Shining!

Thanks so much for your continued support!

How Kubrick Achieved the Beautiful Cinematography of Barry Lyndon

Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon is often lauded as one of the greatest achievements in the history of cinematography. And in a decade or even a year with some of the toughest competition you can think of, Barry Lyndon always seems to stick out just a little bit more. But what sets the cinematography of Barry Lyndon apart from other movies? And how was it done?

I would certainly like more Barry Lyndon. And I loved the quote, "I have not yet received satisfaction." If you're not in the right frame of mind when you watch, it can certainly seem slow, boring, even. For me, this is one of the movies that I could watch a hundred times. It so captures a particular period and atmosphere, I never want it to end. I think the same is true of Miller's Crossing. This video is very well done.

Fascinating video! I've been rather obsessed with "Barry Lyndon" for over 40 years after being overwhelmed by it at LA's Cinerama Dome eight times in its original run, so a beautiful, well-researched video document such as this is a giant treat. I'd like to suggest that the first shot of Barry and his cousin, Nora, seems to be a camera move rather than a zoom. Perhaps it is both at once, but the changing relationships between background and foreground objects indicates that the camera is moving backwards. Never mind, it doesn't matter; you more than compensated by catching a glimpse of that mini-brute through the window of the restaurant. (Now, while you're working on "The Shining," have you caught the reflection of Kubrick and camera in the window behind Mr. Ullman as they slide into position behind Jack the first time he enters Ullman's office?) And yes, more insight into "Barry Lyndon," please, when you can! Thank you.

Thanks! I feel the same way. It's a slow burn, but a lot happens (and I don't think I had ever really realized how similar the structures of Barry Lyndon and Full Metal Jacket are). As with all Kubrick movies, I find that Barry Lyndon gets better and better each time I watch it.

Thanks! I think you're right about the camera move. That shot also kind of has a different feel than the others. That's so cool that you were able to see the film on its original run! I can only imagine what that must have been like. Wow, I just looked at that scene in The Shining and it is clear as day! I don't know how I missed that all these times!
