SHOWTIMES AT IFC CENTER

50th Anniversary!


Winner of four Academy Awards, Stanley Kubrick’s picaresque drama charts the audacious rise and precipitous fall of Redmond Barry (Ryan O’Neal), an 18th century striver, deserter and scoundrel who lies, cheats, and sleeps his way into the upper echelons of the British aristocracy. Known for its famously beautiful candle-lit compositions, BARRY LYNDON is a wry, absorbing showcase for Kubrick’s trademark ironic humor with standout performances from Marisa Berenson as a vulnerable widow, longtime Kubrick collaborator Leon Vitali as Barry’s stepson-cum-nemesis, and Ryan O’Neal in the role he was born to play.
