    This entire movie is a virtual Time Machine that will transport the viewer back to the 18th century. No other film has ever captured the elegance, the extravagance, the speech and the manners of that era as this movie has.

      I can't disagree with you. A Royal Affair is a brilliantly made film too.

    This is technically one of the most awe inspiring acts of camera work in movie history. Kubrick wanted to film these candlelit scenes by real candlelight alone, which at the time was technically impossible due to camera and film limitations. So Kubrick bought a unique low light camera lens from NASA that was specially designed for use by Apollo astronauts on the Moon. He then had a movie camera engineer completely rebuild a huge movie camera just to use this lens.
    Then to get max candle light, he had special candles made from highly volatile wax, and had the candles made with three wicks in each. That's why the candle flames are so large, and the candles are all so short. Each candle only lasted a few minutes, but the special camera and super bright candles got Kubrick his candlelit scenes.
    This is characteristic of the almost insane level of detail Kubrick made all his films. And THAT is genius..

    The game they are playing is called Faro. The abacus like board being help up next to the Chevalier is called a "Case Keep" and is there to track what cards have been played to prevent card counting.

    In earlier reactions was asked who the singer is in the cavatina by Paisiello. It is Nicola Monti in the 1959 recording by Mercury. It is on youtube on Il barbiere di Siviglia Paisiello parte 4
    I am very convinced that it is still the best barber by Paisiello on record. He also recorded the barber by Rossini many times. It is fun to see Monti with Panerai on youtube singing to duet in the Rossini barber, but it is in black and white.
    For me Monti also did the best Elisir by Donizetti in 1952. All tenors today can still learn a lot from him.
    The movie is amazing. I never saw anything of it before.

    Even though I am not a Kubrick fan (an understatement) nor a Ryan O'Neal fan (a bigger understatement), I have loved this masterpiece of a film since I first saw in in 1976. I've been too lazy to purchase a copy, I would have taped the movie if I saw it on TV but for some reason I never did. I love how Kubrick is so detailed, such as the "beauty patches" worn by the characters in this scene. Everything about "Barry Lyndon" is perfection.

    The realisim of this film is astonishing. Kubrick cut no corners and spared no effort to show us EXACTLY how things were in the 18th century.
    Take this scene, for example. It is a night scene and the ONLY illmumination is by scores of candles--exactly as it would have been in the 18th century. Modern directors would have cheated and used some artificial lighting in a scene like this.

    How did they ever get this filmed with ZERO artificial lighting on the set? Just scores of candles---exactly as it would have been in the late 18th century. Especially for the film speeds and lenses available in the 1970's. Even today, interior nighttime scenes require at least some supplementary lighting.

    @RedStarRogue 12 лет назад

    From what I heard, this scene was lit only by the candles in frame, which in the 1970's was still much to dark for a 35mm film camera lens. However Kubrick was so adamant that he somehow got his hands on the only lens that worked under f 1.4 from NASA.

If you have the patience, watching this movie is a visual feast and you'd wish you were living a life as a spoiled aristocrat in the 1700's! Dangerous Liasons was unpleasant and had unpleasant leads! And Ryan O'Neal did seem like a strange choice, though. That opponent of his was Victor Maitland in Beverly Hills Cop

    I am not quite sure why, but most of these "auteurs du cinema" seem unable to creat any connection whatsoever between the audience and the characters of the film. Instead of people acting to be other people they look more like aliens dressed as human beings. The Duelists although similar externally, and Scott claimed to wanting to immitate Barry Lyndon, is much more effective in instilling genuine interest for the heroes.

    • @sealforvr
      @sealforvr 10 лет назад +8

      He didn't. A special adaptor was made to work with the lens and give it a wider range, but depth of field was just a few feet. That's why the cast is all huddled up together. Marisa Berenson said later that between the corsetted costumes, heat from the candles and equipment, and having to scrum to get everyone into the shot, not to mention Kubrick's pepetual retakes, they had at least one fainting episode a day

    that behavior was made fashionable by Louis XIV's younger brother, simply known as "Monsieur" and a notorious manchaser, given to outlandish dress and an attraction to young army officers. It's theorized he may have had his first wife, Princess Henrietta of England poisoned for having an affair with one of his favorites. So acting fey, even when heterosexual, made you exotic and "Continental."
