Movie Synopsis

Based on the Victorian novel by William Makepeace Thackeray, Barry Lyndon tells the complex and subtle story of a sensitive, intelligent and ambitious man trapped in a society which has no use for him. Despite the obstacle of his Irish birth in relative poverty, Raymond Barry (Ryan O'Neal) manages by various stratagems and devices to become the wealthy but ill-respected Barry Lyndon. Fooled into leaving his home by the family of the girl he had hoped to marry, Barry becomes a soldier in the a war fought on the European Continent. His adventures teach him how to manipulate people, paving the way for his success. His crowning achievement as a social climber is his marriage to Lady Lyndon (Marisa Berenson), the beautiful and wealthy widow of an English ambassador to the courts of Europe. His stepson, whom he despises, becomes his nemesis. The slow pace given this film by director Stanley Kubrick is a deliberate evocation of the sensibility of the times and gives added force to the retelling of the novel. The film's lavish cinematography was highly acclaimed and it won Oscars for "Art Direction," "Costume Design" and "Musical Score," adapted by Leonard Rosenman from classical sources.
