Kubrick shot his 18th-century costume drama, based on the William Makepeace Thackeray novel, with nods in the direction not of other filmmakers but rather period painters like Gainsborough, Reynolds, Romney and Hogarth. Costumes were crafted in the era's design, the Age of Enlightenment with its gallantry, wars, and duels. Watching BL is pure aesthetic delight - and there is one man who responsible for it, Stanley Kubrick. If ever a divine film was made, "Barry Lyndon" was it. Shall we quote the Bible? "God looked at everything he had made, and he found it very good".
