185 mins - United Kingdom / United States 1975 Director: Stanley Kubrick Starring: Ryan O’Neal, Marisa Berenson and Patrick Magee This is Stanley Kubrick's lavish adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray's classic 18th-century novel about the rise and fall of a sensitive and dashing rogue, The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq.. Forced to leave Ireland after killing an English officer in a duel, handsome young Redmond Barry (Ryan O'Neal) seeks his fortune as a soldier in Prussia, as a spy then as a gambler living among the elite of Europe. He changes his name and marries an aristocrat (Marisa Berenson) for her wealth, but the acceptance he seeks finally eludes him.“A meticulously woven and richly atmospheric tapestry that is a masterwork of visual beauty.” San Francisco Examiner
