Thanks the Guardian for reminding me about Barry Lyndon, it's relevance and importance and informing me of it's re-release. Like Heaven's Gate (another misunderstood film) or Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces or Dark Star, the movies that populated my screwed up younger consciousness shouldn't be forgotten or filed away (preaching to myself here and no one else) by my muddled sixty year old mind. Note to self: explore the past a bit more so the present can be better understood and the future avoided at all costs.
