Date: February 17th, 2023 1:43 PM Author: bespoke liquid oxygen gas station I think it's still the only movie with indoor scenes lit entirely by candlelight, with no artificial lighting whatsoever. Kubrick could only do that because he got one of 4 (four) copies of the fastest lens ever made. Barry Lyndon is the only movie he ever shot with that lens, and it's the only lens he uses throughout the entire movie.
The lens was originally designed by Carl Zeiss to be used to take photos on the moon. Part of the reason people think Kubrick was involved in faking the moon landing is because no one knows how he ended up with a copy of that lens. Also, it wasn't usable in its original state. Kubrick had to modify a film camera to be able to even use it.
I have mixed feelings about it. I agree that the candlelight scenes are a neat stunt. Like the Copa scene in Goodfellas, it's good to have examples of moments when a director pulled off something incredible. My chief complaint is that the lens is too grainy in outdoor shots. I think that's because, in addition to using a fast lens, Kubrick also used fast film. So you have all these outdoor shots where there's shitloads of light, but you never get an image that looks anything like, say, Lawrence of Arabia. Look at any given frame from that movie and it looks like it was shot in 8k resolution even though it was shot on film. |

Date: February 17th, 2023 1:45 PM Author: Offensive federal reading party The outdoor scenes looked great for what he was trying to achieve. The whole Film looks like a painting.

It’s interesting to note that, although Barry Lyndon is famous for its fast lenses – the f/0.7 Zeiss Planar primes – the movie also used a very slow lens, a custom-built T9 24-480mm zoom. From various accounts, other zooms used seem to include a Cooke T3.1 20-100mm and possibly a 25-250mm of some description. |
|
Date: February 20th, 2023 9:17 PM Author: bespoke liquid oxygen gas station Yes now that you mention it there are some crazy zoom shots. Interesting link but makes me wonder if they didn't fuck something up when they moved the film plate back. If you can keep the film super close to the lens you can get a sharper image. That's how Leica and Contax did it. Kubrick should have hired Japanese or Germans to engineer the camera, not this guy. I didn't realize the film was only 100 and he had to push it, but that would also explain some things. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5292309&forum_id=2"#45960052) |

I’ve never seen an earnest attempt (or any attempt at all come to think of it) on XO to poke holes in it, argue it’s overrated, etc.
Meanwhile I’ve certainly seen well-reasoned (even if i personally disagree) screeds against AP, NCFOM, GGR, The Wire, The Sopranos, and whatever other films/shows are enshrined in our collective autistic antisocial canon. |

Its a bummer films like this are never made anymore. we only get top cinema from scorsese, tarantino, and those guys are grandfathered in. I cant imagine anyone ever making something like Lyndon again. sad. |
