Watch a brand new trail­er for Stan­ley Kubrick’s Bar­ry Lyndon

17 Jun 2016

Words by David Jenkins

The director’s can­dle-lit opus is return­ing to cin­e­mas in time for its 40th anniversary.

For too long, Stan­ley Kubrick’s Bar­ry Lyn­don has exist­ed as the immac­u­late­ly dressed runt of the director’s excep­tion­al lit­ter. Not as trip­py as 2001, not as sexy as A Clock­work Orange, not as fun­ny as Dr Strangelove, not as quotable as Full Met­al Jack­et, not as hor­ren­dous­ly mov­ing as Paths of Glo­ry, not as fer­vent­ly strange as Eyes Wide Shut.

And yet, as the years roll on, it’s a film whose rep­u­ta­tion has just snow­balled, to the point where many a hard­ened Kubrick­ite would sin­gle it out as his crown­ing cin­e­mat­ic achieve­ment. Its stature will like­ly be con­sol­i­dat­ed fur­ther when the film receives a UK re-release in cin­e­mas on 29 July, and to get you in the mood, here’s a new trail­er for the film.
