A Kubrick Christmas continues with Barry Lyndon, a visually stunning period drama that chronicles the rise and fall of an ambitious Irish rogue in 18th-century Europe.
The film follows Redmond Barry (Ryan O’Neal), a charming but unscrupulous young man who climbs the social ladder through duels, deception, and a strategic marriage to a wealthy widow, Lady Lyndon (Marisa Berenson). As he ascends to aristocratic privilege, Barry’s greed, vanity, and lack of foresight ultimately lead to his downfall, exposing the fragile nature of wealth and power.
Renowned for its meticulous attention to historical detail, breathtaking cinematography, and a haunting classical score, Barry Lyndon is celebrated as one of Kubrick’s greatest achievements and a masterpiece of storytelling and visual artistry.
