Stanley Kubrick, UK 1975, 185mins + interval
A beautiful 4K restoration of Stanley Kubrick’s magnificent and lavish adaptation of William Thackeray's classic 18th-century novel. Forced to leave Ireland after killing an English officer in a duel, young Redmond Barry (Ryan O'Neal) seeks his fortune as a soldier and a spy, before eventually seducing his way into the English aristocracy. With astonishing historical accuracy and a carefully constructed tableaux, filmed famously using only candle and natural light, Kubrick’s masterpiece resembles the great Rococo paintings of Constable and Gainsborough, taking artistry in cinema to heights rarely seen.
