Isn’t the living picture of cinema haunted by the still image, which would be his « significant moment » ? Barry Lyndon is punctuated by countless barely moving paintings composed with care. These depict a world frozen whose characters are literally stuck in their destiny. When it becomes mobile, alive again, Barry Lyndon shows characters who struggle, desire, hope. Kubrick opposes the mobility of human desire and the immobility of ruthless social decorum.
