Event Details
Stanley Kubrick’s follow-up to the foreboding A Clockwork Orange (1971) is a stately, gorgeously crafted, epic adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray’s novel about the curious fates of an Irish rogue. Ryan O’Neal portrays Lyndon, and the film earned seven nominations, including Best Picture, Directing, and Adapted Screenplay (all for Kubrick), with Oscars going to the Art Direction, Costume Design, Adaptation Score, and John Alcott’s painterly, natural and candlelit cinematography, which remains immensely influential.
