Barry Lyndon production

O Neal named his son Redmond. And even his life went down the tubes like that of Barry Lyndon.

gool

I weep every time I see that scene...

one of favorite movies ever and most favorite for natural and candle lighting. thanks for finding and posting.

S. K. movies are absol. fantastic. I particul. love Barry Lydon. The most, or one of the most, beautif. mov. ever made. There are nomore of those great film makers : Kubrick, Visconti, Fellini.
B. L. : costumes, landscapes, candlelit scenes, music, actors (except R. O.), all togeth. = a real REAL chef' d'oeuvre.
You must see a wonderful video, made by MARCUSSO : B. L. AND THE XVIII CENTURY PAINTING.
Don't miss it. Beautiful.

Absolutely one of the best movies ever ever made. How come this was a financial flop in the USA ? Unbelievable.

Technically, it was not a financial flop. It received good reviews from critics, but it was not the huge cash cow Warner Bros hoped would be like 2001.

The budget to make and promote the film was $9 million.

The U.S financial gross was nearly $21 million.

It grossed a further 9 million in rentals.

Rule of thumb in Hollywood is that a film is a success if it makes double its money back.

So it was a financial success; it just was not on par with Kubrick's biggest hits.

It was "boring" apparently.

@Nedolg Because it was a 3 hour long costume drama?

from what documentary was this? I want to know because I want to reference it in a paper I have to write, so please reply.
