Barry Lyndon.
Synopsis: Acclaimed adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray's novel, in which a likeable young Irishman changes into a conniving, manipulative rogue. The protagonist finds himself homeless after taking part in a fake duel and is then captured by a Prussian highwayman, and meets up with a spy, but his fortunes change when he marries a wealthy titled woman in order to secure his future.
Watched it on DVD, which I had bought several months ago but finally got around to watching.
My parents had the soundtrack on vinyl and listened to it a bit while I was growing up. I love the music.
Movie is long, perhaps a bit slow, but decent. But the music is fantastic.
