Barry Lyndon revisited.

Barry Lyndon (1975; my comments) is easily one of Stanley Kubrick‘s most under-rated films — it was even excluded from that recent DVD boxed set which included all of Kubrick’s other films from the past four decades — so it’s always nice to come across a new appreciation of the film, especially one that is written by someone who has just seen it for the first time. The most recent example that I’ve come across is this post by J. Robert Parks, who compares the stunning artistry of Kubrick’s film with the apparently more conventional techniques used by the newest version of Brideshead Revisited. Definitely worth reading.
