About the Book
This is a comprehensive analysis of Barry Lyndon, one of the most visually compelling films ever made and, the author argues, Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece. Topics covered from both a practical and theoretical perspective include the unique way in which Kubrick photographed the film, Kubrick’s subtle understanding of cinematic storytelling, the deliberate upturning of generic expectation, and the eclectic use of music. It also provides a more rigorous reading of the film from a diverse range of theoretical approaches: structuralist, feminist, psychoanalytical, Marxist and postcolonial readings.
