An Admirable Miscreant

I'm having another craving for Barry Lyndon. Despite sending some viewers to sleep, it is one of my absolute favourite films. Everything about it is so beautiful. I think Elyse would agree with me on that point. This is the first movie to make me appreciate the effects of lighting and camera direction. The scenery, costumes, music! and story are sublime ( that is the only word to use). Or perhaps melancholic beauty? An 18th century story, Keira Knightley free.
