ABOUT THE FILM

"To celebrate the 50th anniversary of its release, we're bringing Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece back to the big screen in this new 4K restoration.

"A period film like no other, it follows the adventures and misfortunes of Redmond Barry (Ryan O'Neal) where he meets his share of women, takes part in the Seven Years' War, gets recruited as a spy, enjoys the gambling clubs of Europe and marries into the English aristocracy, inventing new stories about himself at every turn of the road."
— Watershed introduction

"One of the most beautiful of all Stanley Kubrick’s films, this slyly savage tale of social climbing in the 18th century is also arguably his funniest. Ryan O’Neal stars as Irish rogue and ne’er-do-well Redmond Barry who, after defeating a love rival in a duel and ignominiously deserting the army, reinvents himself as British aristocrat Barry Lyndon. As leisurely as it is painterly, this is a masterclass in cinematography – famously, Kubrick used nothing but natural light in all but a few scenes. Don’t miss the chance to watch it in a cinema."
★★★★★ Wendy Ide, The Observer

"Barry Lyndon is best known for its photography – Kubrick borrowed a low-light camera from Nasa so he could shoot in candlelight – and it is uniquely, heart-stoppingly gorgeous. But there’s much more to it: this is a story of identity, and the lack of it. And it’s fascinating."
★★★★★ Tom Huddleston, Time Out

"Barry Lyndon is an intimate epic of utter lucidity and command."
★★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon, received indifferently in 1975, has grown in stature in the years since and is now widely regarded as one of the master’s best. It is certainly in every frame a Kubrick film: technically awesome, emotionally distant, remorseless in its doubt of human goodness."
