Barry Lyndon :: rogerebert.com :: Great Movies
There's a sense in both this film and "2001" that a superior force hovers above these struggles and controls them. In "2001," it was a never-clarified form of higher intelligence. In "Barry Lyndon," it's Kubrick himself, standing aloof from the action by two distancing devices: the narrator (Michael Hordern), who deliberately destroys suspense and tension by informing us of all key developments in advance, and the photography, which is a succession of meticulously, almost coldly, composed set images.

Adam Cadre | Laura
1944 film. "I first heard of this movie in 1990, when it was cited as a chief inspiration for Twin Peaks." ... "Even harder to miss are the parallels between Laura and Twin Peaks -- they're a lot more obvious than I expected."
