BARRY LYNDON Guest Artistic Director

BARRY LYNDON

Notable for writer and director Stanley Kubrick’s painstaking evocation of 18th-century life, including the nighttime scenes illuminated only by candlelight, BARRY LYNDON — which marks its 50th anniversary this year — is a must-see on the big screen. The callow striver Redmond Barry is played by 1970s heartthrob Ryan O’Neal, in one of his best performances, a reluctant conscript in the British army after leaving his Irish home in disgrace. On the frontlines on the continent, events lead first to Barry’s desertion, then his re-enlistment on the victorious Prussian side; he continues to try his luck in a series of palace intrigues, high-stakes gambling and the strategic seduction of a noblewoman (Marisa Berenson). The film earned seven Academy Award® nominations and won four — Best Cinematography, Art Direction, Costume Design and Music. –Courtesy of AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center
