That was the one film I didn't like. Why do people like it so much? Are candle lit scenes enough to tolerate such a boring film about rich people?

[-] outside_enjoyer@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

no i honestly don't really care that much about how technically impressive it is. the movie is like a tolstoy novella. sorry im high rn otherwise id elaborate

[-] delirious_owl 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah pretty much. I can't stand Tolstoy either. Too much aristocracy.

couldn't disagree more, I find it mesmerising

Barry Lyndon is to cinematography as the works of Ansel Adams are to landscape photography. On a technical level they're both incredible. And they're deeply boring.

i think it's my favourite too most days. imo Kubrick is basically untouchable as far as American directors go

He also has a niche following among people into street photography, long before his directing career. He would wander streets and ask people to pose in various ways. He was directing his street photography!
