The story of Barry Lyndon: 50 years since Stanley Kubrick made his epic in Ireland

It's the lavish, lauded and lovingly lit period drama centred around the rise and fall of a charming scoundrel and social climber. Shot across a variety of Irish locations including Dublin Castle, Powerscourt, Waterford and Cahir. Barry Lyndon brought cutting-edge technology and storytelling to our screens when it was released in 1975. Now, Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of William Thackeray's novel returns to Irish cinema screens in a new 4K restoration to mark its 50th anniversary. The Triskel and Cork Omniplex are among the cinemas bringing it to the big screen. Fresh from making such beloved movies as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Dr Strangelove, British filmmaker Kubrick travelled to Ireland to make his period epic, starring Ryan O'Neill in the title role and Marisa Berenson as his wife. The movie revolves around a young 18th-century Irishman who, following a series of setbacks, goes to great lengths to advance himself. But there was a dramatic ending to the shoot - approximately nine months after filming on the ambitious movie began in late 1973, Kubrick would beat a hasty retreat out of Ireland amid reported threats and complicating factors connected with The Troubles. Ryan O'Neill and Marisa Berenson in Barry Lyndon. Nevertheless, Barry Lyndon is regarded as a memorable time in Ireland's screen history - coming as it did at a time of growing momentum for the then-tiny Irish film industry. Kubrick, one of cinema's best known and most admired filmmakers following a string of critical hits, would go on to shoot only three more movies - The Shining, Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut, before his sudden death at the age of 70, just days after delivering his final film. Barry Lyndon is a film that has become more loved with time, believes Dr Barry Monahan, senior lecturer in the Department of Film and Screen Media at UCC - and its re-release this week is an opportunity to embrace its many qualities. 'You can drill into it and find magnificent little moments, and then see the whole thing weave together,' says Monahan, adding that Kubrick always liked to add a heightened feel to his films. 'Everything had to be epic. That's exactly what he leaned into with Barry Lyndon - its sheer scope, its complexity, is incredibly admirable.' Remarkably, Kubrick - who wanted to film many of Barry Lyndon's striking scenes by candlelight - used a lens initially developed for NASA that enabled him to do so. 'He wanted to shoot the interiors with candlelight predominantly, or natural light coming in through windows,' says Monahan. 'That's one of the big technical feats, and that really was a big thing.' The ZEISS lens - known as one of the fastest lenses ever developed - could film with very low light and without artificial light and only a small number of them were ever developed. They were originally used for lunar exploration. The advertisement in the Cork Examiner in May 1976 for Barry Lyndon showing at the Capitol cinema. Barry Lyndon was shot here at a time when Ireland's film industry had yet to build indigenously to become the internationally respected industry it is today. It would be another number of years before the act to establish The Film Board (now Screen Ireland) was passed in 1980. There had been efforts to build a screen industry here for many decades before, but the arrival of such a prolific filmmaker helped showcase Ireland's beauty as a location, says Monahan, at a time there had long been a growing desire to develop more of a film culture in Ireland. 'As a venue, as a place that could really dress up as a period piece very well, that was beautiful, it had the kind of backdrops that producers would need in a reasonably accessible and reasonably low-budget way. And Kubrick's name associated with a project like that was just magnificent.' Film academics Dr Maria Pramaggiore and Dr Barry Monahan. The shoot also brought a top US heartthrob to these shores in the form of the late Ryan O'Neal. Having recently filmed the Hollywood hit, Love Story, and starred opposite his daughter Tatum in Paper Moon, the period epic marked something of a departure for the star. In fact, the film marked a new adventure for both its leading man and its director, says Dr Maria Pramaggiore, author of Making Time in Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon: Art, History, and Empire. 'Kubrick's overall body of work is small and much beloved by an intense fan and critical following,' says Pramaggiore. 'My interest in Barry Lyndon and my approach to it were motivated by my interest in Irish cinema,' adds the US writer and academic, who was based in Ireland for several years. 'It is arguable - some people might not characterise or categorise Barry Lyndon as Irish cinema.' She feels that the film has been historically underloved - but that that has changed. 'I thought it was quite interesting that Kubrick chose this project. He lived so very long in Britain, and saw himself as stepping outside of the Hollywood system to make his films. It was never going to suit him, because he wanted so much authority over the projects that he was never going to sit comfortably in the Hollywood system, and yet he used Hollywood studios to release his work.' While writing her book, Pramaggiore aimed to delve deeper into the circumstances behind the sudden departure of Kubrick and his production from these shores after several months of filming here. It was a shoot that didn't end conventionally, amid claims that Kubrick had come under IRA threat. Has she been able to piece together the final dramatic days of the production? 'I remain with question marks. It is a mystery. It speaks to, in some ways, both politics that could not be escaped at that time and in that place, Dublin in 1973 with the IRA campaign moving across the border. And also to the industry side of film - the debate about how the production ended was based on reports that there had been a bombing in the Phoenix Park on a day production was due to film there, and they did not film that day. And then there were reported phone calls to Kubrick: 'You better leave, or else; people are in danger'. It's always been reported threats. It took a very long time after they left - two more years - to finish production.' A scene from Barry Lyndon. As the richly detailed film - regarded by many as a masterpiece - returns to our screens, Pramaggiore feels its uniqueness continues to resonate with new and returning audiences. 'It was rolled out in very much an art film, masterpiece mode. It's a period drama. Fans of Ryan O'Neal might have been surprised, coming off of Love Story and Paper Moon. If you were a fan of Ryan O'Neal, and you rocked up to Barry Lyndon at three hours and 14 minutes with an intermission and the voice over and the inter-titles, you would have been confused.' Likewise, she feels that even Kubrick fans mightn't have been expecting Barry Lyndon at this time in the filmmaker's career. 'I would venture that Kubrick fans coming from 2001, A Clockwork Orange, Doctor Strangelove, they would not be expecting what I would call the sort of toxic masculinity that Kubrick did so well. He wouldn't have called it that, probably! He was very keenly aware of the problems of masculinity and warfare, so often a theme in his work.' Barry Lyndon returns to select cinemas from July 18

Real reason behind Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna's epic fallout revealed as explosive new book lifts lid on actress's life

Practically joined at the hip during the Nineties, Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna were once the closest BFFs in Hollywood. Now an explosive new book has claimed to have uncovered the reason why the pair had an epic fallout — with the outspoken singer shouldering the blame.

Author Amy Odell writes: 'Madonna insisted Gwyneth and Martin join her for a big group dinner at a long table where Madonna went off on her daughter, Lourdes. 'Gwyneth and Martin were disgusted by the behaviour.' According to Gwyneth: The Biography, Coldplay frontman Chris branded Madonna 'awful' and told his wife: 'I can't be around this woman any more.'

The apparent fallout between the A-listers became part of showbiz legend in the years that followed. 'I can ice people out and harbour revenge' Before the alleged holiday row, the close pals had attended Kabbalah classes together and told how they supported each other.

'She gives me good advice about how to say no and take care of myself.' Gwyneth Paltrow 'mocks Meghan AGAIN' in Instagram cooking video as 'war to be US lifestyle queen' rages on They then became increasingly distant in the years that followed, with Gwyneth, 52, seemingly excluding Madonna, 66, from her inner circle and spending more time with other stars including Beyonce and Jay-Z. In a 2010 interview with Vogue, Gwyneth all but confirmed she and Madonna were no longer pals when she made a reference to celebrity personal trainer Tracy Anderson, who used to work with them both. Advertisement Gwyneth said: 'It's good that [Tracy] doesn't train Madonna any more. It was too much. She keeps people waiting — it takes up your whole day.' She later admitted: 'Oh yes, I can be mean. I can cave in to gossip. I can ice people out and I definitely harbour revenge.' The Oscar-winner's spat with the Hung Up singer is not the only bombshell revelation from the book. Gwyneth's relationship with her ex Brad Pitt is also explored by author Odell, who says she conducted 220 interviews with 'close current and former friends and colleagues'. Advertisement Her book reveals Gwyneth started hooking up with Brad on the set of 1995 crime thriller Se7en, where he had requested she play his wife. But trouble started brewing after Gwyneth, who led a privileged life and was educated privately, struggled with Brad's working-class roots.

The book brutally details what appears to be Gwyneth's disdain for their different worlds. Advertisement She is reported to have said: 'Brad and I had very different upbringings. 'So when we go to restaurants and order caviar, I have to say to Brad, 'This is beluga and this is osetra.'' It was after Gwyneth was cast in the movie adaptation of Jane Austen's book Emma in 1996 that she is said to have admitted to having doubts about their relationship. The film received rave reviews, and despite Gwyneth agreeing to marry Brad three months after it came out, she is said to have cried over whether their relationship was right. Advertisement They seemed threatened by each other, based on whom Gwyneth was favouring in a given moment Amy Odell The biography recalls how Gwyneth would sob to her friend and make-up artist Kevyn Aucoin 'multiple times' over the fact Brad 'wanted to be with her, but seemed to feel threatened by her success and all the attention she received.' Kevyn is said to have told Gwyneth: 'You really need to end this'. Odell's book also claims Gwyneth 'expressed doubts' about their romance and 'admitted she had a crush on Hugh Grant'. The pair split in 1997, with Gywneth later saying in 2015: 'I wasn't ready, and he was too good for me.'

Advertisement Shocking claims are also made about Gwyneth's temperament — including as boss of wellness brand Goop, which she launched in 2008. Author Odell claims 'executives struggled to navigate Gwyneth's impatience and perfectionism.' She wrote: 'They seemed threatened by each other, based on whom Gwyneth was favouring in a given moment (and she made it clear). 'Employees who worked up the nerve to go into her office were often met with impatience, an attitude of 'What do you want? Get it over with.'' Advertisement Another tale recalls 'leadership team meetings' where Gwyneth would bring in specialists to hold 'self-improvement workshops' with their teams. 'Ralph Lauren was not happy about the fit' Odell writes: 'At one such meeting, a facilitator asked the executives to take turns saying one thing they believed to be true about themselves but wasn't true of anybody else in the room. 'When it was Gwyneth's turn, she said with a smile, 'I won an Oscar.' 'Her team's reaction amounted to a playful 'Gwyneth, f**k off.'' Advertisement Odell's sources also claim Gwyneth clashed with Ralph Lauren over her gown for the 1999 Oscars where she won Best Actress for Shakespeare In Love. According to the book, Gwyneth said she wanted the design to be 'inspired by Grace Kelly' and that she had wanted 'the neckline lower and lower'. It's claimed famed designer Ralph became 'frustrated' after Gwyneth lost weight and came close to refusing to send the dress to Los Angeles for the fitting. The biography claims: 'The designers at Ralph Lauren noticed that something looked off when she wore it that night. Advertisement 'The fabric was puckering, a little wrinkly, loose around her torso — as if she had instantly lost ten pounds. 'They realised she hadn't worn the inner detachable corset that came with the gown, which would have made it fit more snugly. Lauren was not happy about the fit.' Gwyneth's marriage to Chris Martin is also examined in the book, with those close to the actress describing him as an 'introvert who could be socially awkward'. They also claim she was 'seduced by his persona'. Advertisement Gwyneth and Chris married in December 2003 and had daughter Apple, 21, and son Moses, 19. They split in 2014, with Gwyneth coining the now infamous phrase 'consciously uncoupling.' But Odell claims that the couple 'had separated a year earlier' to give themselves the chance to work through the break-up. Using Goop as the platform to announce the split was, apparently, also meticulously planned. Advertisement The book says of Gwyneth: 'While she privately struggled to generate optimism about the separation, she found a way to do it publicly, to turn this painful, confusing failure into a project that might inspire and illuminate — and maybe boost the brand.' That brand, Odell claims, is now being handed down to Gywneth and Chris' daughter Apple — who is studying Law, History, and Society at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. It is claimed Apple has a 'genuine interest' in the brand. Gwyneth's agent Richard Lovett says: 'She's not going to be the next [Gwyneth], but she will be the original Apple.'
