Stanley Kubrick's Most Underrated Film Gets a Criterion 4K Release

It may seem silly to call a film directed by Stanley Kubrickone of the most acclaimed and influential filmmakers ever — "underrated." But, while some of his films are widely celebrated as iconic and groundbreaking classics (i.e. 2001: A Space Odyssey or The Shining), his 1975 epic period drama Barry Lyndondoesn't pop up in conversations about Kubrick's greatness nearly as often. The film centers on an impulsive but tenacious Anglo-Irish man named Redmond Barry (Ryan O'Neal) as he seeks to improve his social status. Over the course of his journey, he becomes a fugitive from the law, joins two armies, participates in duels, and repeatedly changes his identity before ultimately setting his sights on marrying a widowed aristocrat (Marisa Berenson).
