Making Time In Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon: Art, History, And Empire

Though considered by critics to be Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, Barry Lyndon has suffered from scholarly and popular neglect. Taking a novel approach, Maria Pramaggiore ... combines extensive research into the film's source novel, production, and reception with systematic textual analysis and an engagement with key issues in contemporary academic debate, revealing the film's transnational and intermedial contexts. In Barry Lyndon - a foreign production shot in Ireland and an adaptation of a British novel by an American director about an Irish subject - Kubrick develops his richest philosophical meditation on cinema's capacity to mediate the real and foregrounds film's relationship to other technologies of visuality, including painting, photography and digital media--Publisher's description.
