Overview
An Irish rogue uses his cunning and wit to work his way up the social classes of 18th century England, transforming himself from the humble Redmond Barry into the noble Barry Lyndon.
I can appreciate the stunning visuals and the dark comedy that this film offers but the appreciation for this film completely escapes me. It’s a long, long, long way to go to see the fairly uninteresting story play out. I won’t get that three hours of my life back.
