This one - and "2001." It's incredible that they were created by the same person. "Barry Lyndon" gave Kubrick a chance to use some of the research he'd done for his abandoned Napoleon film. Barry Lyndon was also the only film for which he was the sole screenplay writer, with no collaborators. I own both films in the 4K format.

Thanks for sharing some insight on Barry Lyndon! That's great that you own these great films in 4K. I'm planning to upgrade my Blu-ray copy of 2001 soon.
@@CinemaLabyrinthine Good for you! High quality films demand being seen in a high quality format.

Most audiences suffer from ADHD, if the film doesn't grab their attention within 5 minutes, they don't want to watch it. I've known people find films with far faster paces than this slow.
Just curious - I'm someone who loves the time period (and Kubrick) but... this is not my favorite of his films, to say the least. What about it appeals to you? I wish I could get into it.
@@Dayvit78 That's very interesting to read your comment. I'm almost exactly the opposite. This time period is one of my least favourite genres and yet Barry Lyndon is my favourite Kubrick film. All I can say is that no other film puts me into the setting like this one does. I love almost all of his films but this is the one Kubrick film I go back to more than any other.
If you're going to make a piece about editing, it better be well edited -- and this is really well edited. Bravo to whomever cut it, nice work. (Only note -- I wish it was longer).
Thank you for your kind words! We're working on improving our production value. Our plan is to eventually incorporate motion effects into these videos.
I always wondered how Stanley took 100s of takes and narrowed it down to what he wanted. I seemed to me impossible to choose the best from so much material.
Penny Marshall (entirely different kind of filmmaker, obviously) worked the same way. She was known to shoot miles and miles of film and narrowing down what worked once assembly began was a feat. She and her editing teams worked hard.
Having seen 2001 in IMax for its 50th anniversary the one Kubrick film I desperately want to see on a big screen is Barry Lyndon. I hold the opinion that it was his true masterpiece. His remaining three films, very good as they are, seem to lack, for me at least, some key element that pushes them into greatness, especially Eyes Wide Shut which I cannot find any admiration for. Barry Lyndon feels like a complete cinematic experience. I envy anyone who had the opportunity to see the film on its initial release. It's unfortunate that it never found an audience and, as observed in this video, the film had a deliberate pace that was antithetical to the films of that period. It was almost predestined to fail with a contemporary audience, but would be championed by "cinephiles" as a masterpiece. Having now read the Thackeray novel.a couple times it's interesting to see the changes Kubrick made, both Redmond Barry and Lord Bullington are quite different in their literary form, the former not being quite as obnoxious as his cinematic counterpart, Bullington is denied his revenge upon his step father. But it is a fairly faithful adaptation, trimming away some minor characters and incidents but retaining the spirit of the story. As I had experienced watching 2001 on a big screen (for the first time) one sees details that are somewhat lost on a smaller tv screen, as well as the sound hitting you at different angles. Hopefully some day the opportunity will present itself to see it. 2025 will be its 50th anniversary so hopefully it will get a limited run in theatres.
I think EWS is also a unique, bizarre and shocking cinematic experience. But nothing quite compares to Barry Lyndon, surely cinema’s greatest achievement
I was lucky enough to see it on the big screen at the Academy Museum a few months ago, it was a life-changing experience. And it was my first time, it is now my favorite film of his. I agree with you 100%.
Seeing any Kubrick film on the silver screen really appreciates one’s love for his films. You see every detail you wouldn’t normally catch on your television as much.
I saw it on its initial release in 1976. Most people mentioned men wearing makeup, the scenes lit by candlelight and how slowly everyone in the second half moved. I think that it was too different from other film to be popular. I liked it but I am certainly getting more out of it after watching this documentary and reading reviews.
I read the novel, by Thackeray, but only once. I have seen the film many times, and always suprised me. Is remarkable the ambition of Kubrick, a man from Brooklyn, engaging on an historical drama of twists and turns of the Sevens Year War and the atmostphere of the time...a real marterpiece.
I can't express in words how much I love this film. I swear! It is more than a masterpiece. One of its kind. As a film aficionado, it is a rare, rare, rare treat. A visual delight with mesmerising background score. I remember when I was watching it, I didn't want it to end even after more than 3 hours that had passed.
Barry Lyndon is such a beautiful and engaging film, you cannot tear yourself away once you start watching it- the pacing, while slow, seems to hold you in.
Imagine if Kubrick was around for them to try to premiere one of his films on HBO Max or some other streaming services. Something tells me that wouldn't have gone over very well with him.
It’s so unfair that we have so little footage of Kubrick discussing his work or doing a directors commentary. I was hoping after Eyes Wide Shut was released he might sit down with like 60 Minutes or Larry King for a long-form interview of some kind
Probably one of my favorite Stanley Kubrick films. It’s just perfection to me, beautifully filmed, meticulously edited, gorgeous costume and sets and warm acting I always love to double feature this with Phantom Thread.
Thank God for the auteur. I never understood why some directors DON'T feel the need to be in total control of every aspect of the filmmaking process, and allow others to "mess" with it (no matter how good they are ) unless they explicitly WANT it to be a collaborative effort (which, to a large degree, it is, and has to be, by its very nature), as I imagine every artist has a vision of what/how said artpiece should be! Imagine if Raphael or Michaelangelo had allowed others to add to their paintings, or Bach or Mahler had allowed others to add to their compositions. The very idea is ridiculous. An affront.
One of the few movies I will watch every time it’s on. I’m glad he explained why he used the Schubert trio, I’ve always wondered since it’s the only piece in the movie that’s not of the time. But it works so perfectly.
Thank you for posting such remarkable inspiring content. Please continue. It's a tough choice to pick a favorite. Split between Clockwork and Shining for the story. Visually Barry and Paths for visuals.
I think the film is very subtle and beautiful. In many ways I think it's more 'relevant' today than when it was first released, because in many ways our society has come around to resembling 18th century England, with vast, entrenched, structural inequalities of income and life chances that weren't as obvious when Kubrick made his true masterpiece.
this beautiful video pumped me , from what I was suffering from like a week, the same inspiration. Thankyou Cinema Labyrinthine for helping me get back on track.
I was only in my early 20's when I saw this. We were stationed in Paris in my adolescent years and film was our friend. This film is like a trip to a fine arts museum. Frame after frame of lushness. This was back in the 70's.
I saw this film when it first came out. It was at the height of my "Kubrick phase" and I had seen everything up to then. Well, I must say that while I didn't hate it I didn't really like it. I see now that I didn't really understand it. Watched it again recently and couldn't for the life of me understand why I didn't like in in 1975. It's another of his masterpieces. Maybe I was too young. This video explains a lot now. Thanks for posting it.

Why the "cutting for tension" title at 1:13 ? The tension part remained unexplored .. and what was the point of dividing a shot length by 3 or 6, as opposed to 2 or 4 ? And why divide by any number at all ?
You're correct. I may have removed the portion that discusses tension to make the video shorter and forgotten to change the on-screen title. I'm one person making these videos and sometimes mistakes slip by me. Thank you for bringing it up! I'm always trying to do better. I'm not sure why Kubrick's editing process was so mathematical. It's just the process he used to reach the emotional impact he wanted.
@@CinemaLabyrinthine Interesting - mathematical process for emotional impact .. but how would the process go from there, what would he do after the division ? Suppose the division left a remainder - would he then trim, or more likely extend, the scene to make the length divisible by 3, or 6 ? Hmm .. was Kubrick a fan of Nikola Tesla by any chance ?
Any time! Thank you for watching. Im going to be out of town for a few weeks but Ill be back with new videos in late September. I'll be posting an update video about that in a few days.
One could master all the technical things Kubrick mastered, but you still wouldn't be Kubrick. He had impeccable taste. Not to sound elitist, but I suspect that in the creative process, "taste" - loosely defined as a sense of what is appropriate - can't be taught. You have amounts of it which, if you're lucky, have met or exceeded a subjective threshold so much that it is apparent that you definitively "have it."
Look at Kubrick's Meticulous set up of the British military forces The Redcoats of the late 18th Century at 6min 44 seconds. I am surprised Kubrick being American did not make the quitessential movie about the American revolution and America's war of independence. I am sure 1776 and all that would have fascinated him bein an American. Clearly if he could do Barry Lyndon which was done around the time of the American war of Independence against the British he can do a movie about 1776 and Americas war of independence. I am sure it would have been a far better than the Mel Gibson movie The Patriot year 2000 while good would not have matched the intellience and meticulous attention to detail of a Stanley Kubrick.
If he was so great, why did he make such an obvious error in Ryan's desertion on that horse. He's wearing shoes, then officer's boots, then shies. He wasn't paying attention.
I see your argument and agree with it to an extent. At the same time, it's important to recognize the work that goes into creating films. Thanks for watching!
I remember coming out of the theater, it was one of those Panavision theaters, after seeing Barry Lyndon and thinking, "I've just seen simultaneously the most beautiful and boring of all time."
It's too bad Kubrick spent so much time on Eyes Wide Shut. I couldn't help but compare it to Barry Lyndon as I watched it with Dr. Bill trying to romp around and work his way into things. Historians may say Kubrick got 75-90% of Barry Lyndon accurate in the way of look, costume, character, dialog, etc. But Eyes Wide Shut seems to be about 10% accurate in the long term. And to me, all the aspects of love, devotion, promiscuity, and loss are all covered in Barry Lyndon. And even being such a period piece, it reflects so much of modern day conquests and aspirations of relationships. Eyes Wide Shut just seems an empty exercise in decadence and electricity.
Well, I thought EWS was an excellent final film from the maestro. It's a dreamy meditation on marriage, relationship, fidelity, desires and secrets; one of the finest on the subject I've seen.
Eyes Wide Shut is insanely complex film. I was disappointed on it when I saw it, but now I think it's amazing. Though I have spent incredible efforts on decoding that film and all of what it wants to say. It's still hard film to watch. As the atmosphere hits too close to home in the modern times. The Shining took a long time before it was appreciated, the same will happen with Eyes Wide Shut, which in many ways is like The Shining 2.0. On the superficial level there's family with young child, the marriage has problems. There's a Gold room, and then there's it's counter part ball room, in The Shining both of these manifested the same place, in EWS it's Ziegler's mansion and the Rothschild's mansion. There are more of the connections, but I'm too tired to remember at the moment :D In any case, please give EWS another try. Watch some documents, theories, blogs about the films, and it should start opening up.
To me, EWS should've been so much more. Every other Kubrick film the main character 'snaps' in it. Col. Dax, Humbert Humbert, Mandrake, Dave, The writer, Barry, Jack, even Joker. But EWS, Cruise always keeps this docile composure, and breaks at the end. I could see if he was just going around town trying to pick up a woman. But then the whole orgy bit, and being watched, and Ziegler at the end. I kept expecting Cruise to blow up like he did in Vanilla Sky, or A Few Good Men, or Magnolia. And he's just so FLAT and predictable in EWS. Like Kubrick wanted to do the tamest version of Risky Business that absolutely goes nowhere. The movie should've been titled 'Could've, Would've, Should've' and I'd give it a little more respect then.
@@DungeonStudio I get that feeling, but Cruise's acting is actually spot on for the role. He is supposedly Eyes Wide Shut. Alice has her eyes open, so does Bill in the end. But the cruel joke is that actually they are both still Eyes Wide Shut in the end. EWS is truly a unique Kubrick film in many ways. One is that the superficial plot is quite horrendous and so the film isn't enjoyable from that perspective. Everything kind of gets sacrificed for the symbology. But when you really start to break this films messages, it's pretty amazing. One thing though is the editing. I'm almost certain part of the film got deleted by the studio bosses. Many scenes that were filmed are not in the film. Certain locations at the mansion are not in the film, and certain other scenes that were filmed. Obviously Kubrick could have removed those, but there are couple jumps in the film that just screams that there must have been a scene before that. Even still, I think EWS is amazing and it will become more popular as the time goes by and people get more into the knowledge of the esoteric themes that the film explores.
I agree with you on the editing. I think what we got is no doubt Stan's '1st draft' so to speak. The soundtrack seems tacked in, and the way it jumps from certain scenes. And then of course the controversy over the orgy footage, which I think Stan must've found disheartening to have to modify to please the puritans. Especially after A Clockwork Orange has gained such acceptance over the years. So I agree that Stan probably had a few aces up his sleeve that could've made the movie more gritty and/or more of an attack on the ultra elite. And maybe I shouldn't say 'attack', but I think we all know the elite today must live in this dreamlike world of emptiness and unfulfilled desires. That much I get from the movie. Be it the rich daughter of the dead father, or Ziegler and his wife. But then to jump to those trying to survive off sex. The hooker, and the costume store owner and his daughter. And to play them so innocent and mysterious? That's where it loses me.
Your vinyl record sound effect should fade out at 7:25 when the interviewees stop talking about the music. I found it distracting, even though I understand why you have it there. Also: don't you think you ought to credit The Chieftains when you bookend your video with two pieces of their music?
Thank you for your comment! I kept the sound of the vinyl because it's meant to play with the music, as it would in real life. Also, TH-cam adds credits to the description box. The Chieftains are listed there.
They had to check the light in the cinema, there was no stupid hdr and true black garbage like now where movies are shoot with shitty light and every tv displays them in a different way
I would have to respectfully disagree. It's a marathon, a slow roast of a movie. Takes it's time, and you ought to be in the right state of mind to sit through it, so I don't blame you if it's a bit difficult to endure
Yeah, this one isn't widely seen as one of Kubrick's best films. We think it's great, but we also understand that it's not appealing to a lot of people. Thanks for your input. We appreciate all opinions here 👍 There's a Kubrick film for everyone lol
I looked at your youtube channel and it clearly shows why you wouldn't like anything that is good, as this brilliant film. Consider staying off youtube...

Barry Lyndon might be my favorite because it is a movie where in every aspect of it, it is absolutely brilliant
Barry Lyndon isn't 'slow'. It is the correct pace. And it is never boring.

True I would call it more hypnotic almost

Barry Lyndon is the only movie I wish I could see more scenes. A masterpiece at its finest.
Absolutely. We feel the same way.
Lyndon is a unique film. It felt like visiting an art gallery with a story.

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed the video
Any time! Thank you for watching. Im going to be out of town for a few weeks but Ill be back with new videos in late September. I'll be posting an update video about that in a few days.
One of the longest dull dull unbearably dull movies ever made.
Technically it's filmed in hard matte 1.66:1 with arriflex and mitchell cameras and lenses and not panaflex by panavision
Easily my favorite Kubrick film
the candle business was booming at the time.
One could master all the technical things Kubrick mastered, but you still wouldn't be Kubrick. He had impeccable taste. Not to sound elitist, but I suspect that in the creative process, "taste" - loosely defined as a sense of what is appropriate - can't be taught. You have amounts of it which, if you're lucky, have met or exceeded a subjective threshold so much that it is apparent that you definitively "have it."
Look at Kubrick's Meticulous set up of the British military forces The Redcoats of the late 18th Century at 6min 44 seconds. I am surprised Kubrick being American did not make the quitessential movie about the American revolution and America's war of independence. I am sure 1776 and all that would have fascinated him bein an American. Clearly if he could do Barry Lyndon which was done around the time of the American war of Independence against the British he can do a movie about 1776 and Americas war of independence. I am sure it would have been a far better than the Mel Gibson movie The Patriot year 2000 while good would not have matched the intellience and meticulous attention to detail of a Stanley Kubrick.
A movie about the Revolutionary War in the style of Barry Lyndon would be amazing.
Yeah as you can tell from Dr Strangelove and FMJ he was very fond of the US. So fond in fact he moved and never came back.

Poor Jan, always having to say pretty much the same thing
Please subtitule please thank you
Thank you for the suggestion. Subtitles should be available now.
Yes. Now is available. Really Thank you!
This one.
If he was so great, why did he make such an obvious error in Ryan's desertion on that horse. He's wearing shoes, then officer's boots, then shies. He wasn't paying attention.
Read Emilio D'Alessndro's book, Stanley Kubrick and me
Thirty Years At His Side.
We appreciate the suggestion
Ok till 0:55. No lover of a movie should see behind the scenes production shots: Cameras, lights, cables, technicians etc destroy a movie!
I see your argument and agree with it to an extent. At the same time, it's important to recognize the work that goes into creating films. Thanks for watching!
Uh, I think the world has been used to seeing behind the scenes photos by now
BARRY LYNDON, then 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, then all the others.
LOLITA not so much, also THE KILLING.
I remember coming out of the theater, it was one of those Panavision theaters, after seeing Barry Lyndon and thinking, "I've just seen simultaneously the most beautiful and boring of all time."
it's greatest strength is that it's not boring.
It's too bad Kubrick spent so much time on Eyes Wide Shut. I couldn't help but compare it to Barry Lyndon as I watched it with Dr. Bill trying to romp around and work his way into things. Historians may say Kubrick got 75-90% of Barry Lyndon accurate in the way of look, costume, character, dialog, etc. But Eyes Wide Shut seems to be about 10% accurate in the long term. And to me, all the aspects of love, devotion, promiscuity, and loss are all covered in Barry Lyndon. And even being such a period piece, it reflects so much of modern day conquests and aspirations of relationships. Eyes Wide Shut just seems an empty exercise in decadence and electricity.
Well, I thought EWS was an excellent final film from the maestro. It's a dreamy meditation on marriage, relationship, fidelity, desires and secrets; one of the finest on the subject I've seen.
Eyes Wide Shut is insanely complex film. I was disappointed on it when I saw it, but now I think it's amazing. Though I have spent incredible efforts on decoding that film and all of what it wants to say.
It's still hard film to watch. As the atmosphere hits too close to home in the modern times.
The Shining took a long time before it was appreciated, the same will happen with Eyes Wide Shut, which in many ways is like The Shining 2.0. On the superficial level there's family with young child, the marriage has problems. There's a Gold room, and then there's it's counter part ball room, in The Shining both of these manifested the same place, in EWS it's Ziegler's mansion and the Rothschild's mansion. There are more of the connections, but I'm too tired to remember at the moment :D
In any case, please give EWS another try. Watch some documents, theories, blogs about the films, and it should start opening up.
To me, EWS should've been so much more. Every other Kubrick film the main character 'snaps' in it. Col. Dax, Humbert Humbert, Mandrake, Dave, The writer, Barry, Jack, even Joker. But EWS, Cruise always keeps this docile composure, and breaks at the end. I could see if he was just going around town trying to pick up a woman. But then the whole orgy bit, and being watched, and Ziegler at the end. I kept expecting Cruise to blow up like he did in Vanilla Sky, or A Few Good Men, or Magnolia. And he's just so FLAT and predictable in EWS. Like Kubrick wanted to do the tamest version of Risky Business that absolutely goes nowhere. The movie should've been titled 'Could've, Would've, Should've' and I'd give it a little more respect then.
@@DungeonStudio I get that feeling, but Cruise's acting is actually spot on for the role. He is supposedly Eyes Wide Shut. Alice has her eyes open, so does Bill in the end. But the cruel joke is that actually they are both still Eyes Wide Shut in the end.
EWS is truly a unique Kubrick film in many ways. One is that the superficial plot is quite horrendous and so the film isn't enjoyable from that perspective. Everything kind of gets sacrificed for the symbology.
But when you really start to break this films messages, it's pretty amazing.
One thing though is the editing. I'm almost certain part of the film got deleted by the studio bosses. Many scenes that were filmed are not in the film. Certain locations at the mansion are not in the film, and certain other scenes that were filmed.
Obviously Kubrick could have removed those, but there are couple jumps in the film that just screams that there must have been a scene before that.
Even still, I think EWS is amazing and it will become more popular as the time goes by and people get more into the knowledge of the esoteric themes that the film explores.
I agree with you on the editing. I think what we got is no doubt Stan's '1st draft' so to speak. The soundtrack seems tacked in, and the way it jumps from certain scenes. And then of course the controversy over the orgy footage, which I think Stan must've found disheartening to have to modify to please the puritans. Especially after A Clockwork Orange has gained such acceptance over the years. So I agree that Stan probably had a few aces up his sleeve that could've made the movie more gritty and/or more of an attack on the ultra elite. And maybe I shouldn't say 'attack', but I think we all know the elite today must live in this dreamlike world of emptiness and unfulfilled desires. That much I get from the movie. Be it the rich daughter of the dead father, or Ziegler and his wife. But then to jump to those trying to survive off sex. The hooker, and the costume store owner and his daughter. And to play them so innocent and mysterious? That's where it loses me.
I think Kubrick had OCD.
Visual things- for a 200 iq guy, he isn't afraid dumb down his brain power
Your vinyl record sound effect should fade out at 7:25 when the interviewees stop talking about the music. I found it distracting, even though I understand why you have it there.
Also: don't you think you ought to credit The Chieftains when you bookend your video with two pieces of their music?
Thank you for your comment! I kept the sound of the vinyl because it's meant to play with the music, as it would in real life. Also, TH-cam adds credits to the description box. The Chieftains are listed there.
They had to check the light in the cinema, there was no stupid hdr and true black garbage like now where movies are shoot with shitty light and every tv displays them in a different way
Still turned out to be a crappy film...even geniuses can suck.
I would have to respectfully disagree. It's a marathon, a slow roast of a movie. Takes it's time, and you ought to be in the right state of mind to sit through it, so I don't blame you if it's a bit difficult to endure
Yeah, this one isn't widely seen as one of Kubrick's best films. We think it's great, but we also understand that it's not appealing to a lot of people. Thanks for your input. We appreciate all opinions here 👍 There's a Kubrick film for everyone lol
If this is a 'crappy film,' then what's your notion about a superior film?
I looked at your youtube channel and it clearly shows why you wouldn't like anything that is good, as this brilliant film. Consider staying off youtube...
haahahaahahah man this movie is a masterpiece
