Barry Lyndon: Esté/ca, Técnica e Direção na Obra de Stanley Kubrick

This ar/cle examines the aesthe/c and technical construc/on of Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon (1975), focusing on cinematography, art direc/on, soundtrack, sound design, and film direc/on. It highlights how cinematographer John AlcoW transformed each frame into a composi/on reminiscent of 18th-century pain/ngs, par/cularly through Kubrick’s groundbreaking use of natural light and candlelight with the Zeiss 0.7F lens. The art direc/on, costumes, and sekngs, carefully inspired by pictorial references, reinforce the director’s pursuit of historical realism. The soundtrack, largely composed of Schubert’s pieces and military marches, adds emo/onal depth to the protagonist’s journey. Finally, the ar/cle discusses Kubrick’s rigorous method, both in me/culous research and in his approach to direc/ng actors and narra/ve structure, emphasizing how the film became a masterpiece defined by the synthesis of art, technique, and auteur vision.
