Barry Lyndon ((install)) Full Film -

Three hours long? Yes. A slow burn? Absolutely. But by the end, you feel like you’ve lived an entire, bittersweet lifetime.

The second half of the film chronicles Barry’s inevitable decline. Though now a man of immense wealth and nobility, his old, reckless habits resurface. He mistreats his stepson, Lord Bullingdon (Leon Vitali), and engages in decadent and ultimately ruinous spending habits in a vain attempt to gain a title, such as "Lord Lyndon". The family’s fortune dissolves, and his marriage sours into a cold, hateful relationship. The film builds to an excruciatingly tense duel between Barry and his adult stepson, which sets the stage for the final, crushing conclusion of his ill-fated life. barry lyndon full film
