We started BARRY LYNDON last night — will resume at the intermission this evening — and so far I think it might be my favorite Kubrick? At least half of this is that it is one of the best looking movies I have ever seen.

the other half is how it is filled with wonderful contempt for aristocrats

right! it is the story of how this supposedly civilized, gentlemenly society is selfish and violent, barbarism with the thin veneer of sophistication. https://twitter.com/poorquentyn/status/1254808266728787972?s=21 https://twitter.com/poorquentyn/status/1254808266728787972
