Costumes from the movieKubrick filmed two years Barry Lyndon on location in Ireland, England and Germany. To increase the authenticity he filmed only on existing locations, in buildings and interiors from the 18th century. He left a special camera techniques develop, filmed only on the precious 70 mm widescreen format, and invented a special development process in which the colors of the movie just resemble those of an oil painting or a drawing of pastel chalk. He insisted that the movie would be filmed without artificial light and so also had the evening and dining scenes are filmed with real candlelight. This seemed at first not possible because there is no sufficient light sensitive film material is. Kubrick's cinematographer John Alcott figured out a solution: he knew the hands on a bright (50 mm f/0.7 Zeiss)lens<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1" len="164" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[1]  of the NASA, which normally is played on satellite pictures.

The film has a total of 17 tracks, all by composers such as Handel, Schubert, Mozart, Antonio Vivaldi, Frederick the great with Der, Johann and Irish Mná na hÉireann folk music by The Chieftains. Kubrick turned itself classical music during the recording and let the actors move to the beat of the music. Along with the beautiful pictures, the continued presence of classical music, the extremely slow pace, the slow Assembly and the few dialogues is Barry Lyndon a kind of ballet. There is very little action in the movie, making it just seems like you go to a whole series of paintings is a look. By visiting to watch the movie hits the viewer in a kind oftrance; carried away by the heady calm and graceful beauty.
