Barry Lyndon


Famous '70s movie partly filmed and set in Ireland. It's about a guy who works his way upwards in society a few hundred years ago. Gearshift film, the first half is much better. Rossiter is well cast and the movie is technically impressive. The overlong second half of the movie is a let down though.
