[Konvas] and the winner is......? (Barry Lyndon)

[Steve Zimmerman]

I really like Barry Lyndon.  Especially how while it's so beautiful on the surface, the point of view of humanity is so sour.  Everyone is so polite and well dressed, because that's what society expects.  Underneath that everyone hates each others guts and are in it just for themselves.  Paths of Glory showed this too, even in that early work.
