Stanley Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon" is arguably his masterpiece, his period drama from 1975.
This video reviews and analyzes Barry Lyndon, looking at its use of music, specifically Handel's Sarabande. It deals with questions about why Kubrick chose to work with this material, set in the late 18th century.
The video discusses what Barry Lyndon is about. I ask whether it's mocking the human condition or European civilization. How cynical is kKubrick's movie?
