Coincidentally, I watched "Barry Lyndon" last week as a Netflix rental, curious
about whether my positive impressions of the film still held up. They did.
It's mesmerizing to me and I'd forgotten that one of the big reasons why
(besides its glorious cinematography) -- is because it's narrated and easy to
follow. The pace of the picture, I don't even think about it -- because as
they say -- any movie that's good never feels bloated. It isn't great acting,
but it isn't bad either. Whatever happened to the gorgeous Marisa Berenson, by
the way?
