Barry Lyndon

The reverse zoom shot, a technique employed to striking effect across Kubrick’s filmography, is elevated to an ethos in Barry Lyndon, the director’s lone foray into the costume drama. Recounting the decades-spanning rise and fall of the eponymous rogue (Ryan O’Neal) in 18th century Europe, the film places its audience in the position of bemused voyeurs rather than narrative participants, with the painterly photography and proscenium framing emphasizing our temporal and cultural remove from the action.
