Based on William Makepeace Thackeray's picaresque novel of 1844,
Barry Lyndon tells the story of a social-climbing opportunist (Ryan
O'Neal) who succeeds in marrying a beautiful aristocrat far above
his social station (Marisa Berenson), only to see his gains
eventually undone by avarice and spite. Meticulously conceived and
sumptuously photographed--using a specially-modified lens and
almost exclusively lit by candles and natural light--Barry Lyndon
is at once a satirical and sympathetic portrayal of a strangely
endearing antihero. (Because "he has charm and courage," said
Kubrick, "it's impossible not to like him despite his vanity, his
insensitivity, and his weakness.") Despite underwhelming audiences
and critics alike when it was released in 1975, a time when period
pieces were not all the rage, Barry Lyndon has quietly risen in the
ranks of Kubrick's canon and is now widely considered to be not
only among his finest achievements but a cinematic masterpiece
without equal. This collection is part of the Making of a
Masterpiece series, offering a behind-the-scene glimpse into movie
milestones. This set includes: film stills, behind-the-scenes
photographs, screenplay drafts, and other exclusive material from
Stanley Kubrick's archives background about the making of the film,
interviews with Kubrick, and an illustrated biography and
filmography a fold-out film poster a DVD of the remastered film
