BARRY LYNDON - Woman of Ireland scene

[GGBrunetteGirl]

The traditional Irish tune playing in the background is called Women of Ireland. It's performed by Sean O'Riada with Derek Bell on the harp. Magical!

[torporify]

This is not a "woman of Ireland." This is a German woman. Barry was serving on the Continent at the time of this scene.

Kubrick probably made the baby do 50 takes.

[calebkreegan]

The baby has one of the biggest heads I've seen for a child in my whole life

[Engaze]

Could this masterpiece be published in blueray? Would it get better image quality ?

[Eccotoneful]

@EngNearly The image quality is exactly the way Stanley wanted it. And one of the reasons why so many love the movie. Zeiss lenses...

[MikhailNechemevicTal]

The baby acted perfectly in this scene.

[JEELEN1]

Interesting dialogue.

[airzorne]

Woman of Ireland speaking German?

[ThomasKnorra]

@airzorne Actually she's German, he's Irish.

[dave997]

he should of married her and ended the movie there

[persiasand]

This is not romantic, its hilarious, the narrator completely blew it!

[scienceisgod1]

I think he was in Germany (Prussia) in this scene! She is beautiful indeed! The actress is Diana Körner.

[IWantDaveKast]

this entire movie's lighting was used by natural light only. no lighting kits! just candlelight and sunlight.

that's authenticity for ya!

[Eccotoneful]

@IWantDaveKast Zeiss optics. :)

[jjbnyc2007]

She wasn't Irish in the movie. Her character was German or Prussian.

[DrMarianus]

If I recall, weren't The Chieftains the performers playing this piece?

[BanjoDelivrance]

@DrMarianus

(I'm french)

That's right!

Derek Bell is playing the harp in this movie,so probably with the Chieftains too . Beautiful song,I can't remember what's the name of this composition...

[BanjoDelivrance]

@BanjoDelivrance

"Women of Ireland"?....I believe.

[justabloke1]

yup i agree.. kinda looks like an old oil painting

[Fuliginosus]

I like the 'acting' on the part of the baby. The shot starting at 1:46 is so poetic; on of the best in the movie IMO.

Magnificent, absolutely superb! Thanks for posting it! Luigi

[roachy333]

For all his caddishness and selfishness that is generally highlighted throughout by the narrator....Barry was tender and innocent with so many women in this film...particularly early on..this aspect is entirely overlooked imo.

Note he originally says his name is something else...but on the morning he leaves, the girl refers to him as Redmond.

Yes...an art gallery on celluloid.

[LadieGreensleeves]

Watch out for 'Berry' in the description. I love this scene too!

[ChrisB12Many]

This is a scene that Kubrick lit entirely with those candles. He had an especially fast lens built for it. Too bad Ryan O'Neal is such a terrible actor. All the passion of a two by four!

[Honoracharity18]

Seems like  a great movie. Thanks for sharing. The girl should feed her baby first then get her groove on, my goodness.

[ErinShore78]

I always loved that scene... So beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
