Let's watch the classic Barry Lyndon at the Davis

Stanley Kubrick's 1975 masterpiece is back in theaters to celebrate its 4K restoration.

Barry Lyndon stars Ryan O'Neal and Marisa Berenson in a film that was nominated for Best Picture and won four Academy Awards.

From Criterion Collection:

"Stanley Kubrick bent the conventions of the historical drama to his own will in this dazzling vision of a pitiless aristocracy, adapted from a novel by William Makepeace Thackeray. In picaresque detail, Barry Lyndon chronicles the adventures of an incorrigible trickster (Ryan O’Neal) whose opportunism takes him from an Irish farm to the battlefields of the Seven Years’ War and the parlors of high society.
For the most sumptuously crafted film of his career, Kubrick recreated the decadent surfaces and intricate social codes of the period, evoking the light and texture of eighteenth-century painting with the help of pioneering cinematographic techniques and lavish costume and production design, all of which earned Academy Awards. The result is a masterpiece—a sardonic, devastating portrait of a vanishing world whose opulence conceals the moral vacancy at its heart."

The runtime for this film is 185 minutes. The movie will be presented with a 10-minute intermission.

Showtime is 7 pm. Let's meet in the theater lobby at 5:45 pm to buy tickets and grab a bite nearby before the movie. We can wait there till 6 if there are folks who need more time to get to the venue after work.

Hope to see you there.
