Barry Lyndon
Kubrick's period epic follows an 18th-century Irish rogue's rise and fall through society. Shot by candlelight with painterly compositions, it explores ambition, fate, the illusion of control, and the vanity of human wishes. The film is a meditation on destiny and the futility of social climbing.
