M | 185 Mins | Stanley Kubrick Spotlight | 1975 | 35mm | USA | D: Stanley Kubrick

A poor Irishman cons his way into aristocratic circles by marrying a rich widow but ultimately faces a dramatic fall.

Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of William Thackery’s novel is a richly visual period epic of ambition and overreach.

‘One of the most beautiful of all Stanley Kubrick’s films, originally released in 1975, this slyly savage tale of social climbing in the 18th century is also arguably his funniest.’ – The Observer

Presented on 35mm film prints from the NFSA collection.

Available as a 3-film Stanley Kubrick Spotlight pass with A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Learn more.
