is the most sumptuous film I've ever seen. In fact, it's the only film I've ever felt compelled to call 'sumptuous,' besides perhaps Russian Ark.

for lack of a better word, I'd call The Vertical Ray of the Sun sumptuous, and perhaps my favorite "cult" film as well, seeing as my wife is the only one I know who shares my enthusiasm for it.
Sumptuous is wrong for that, though. The sumptuousness of Barry Lyndon's dark, candle-lit interiors and overcast exteriors have an effect quite different from Vertical Ray, which is more light and luminous. Certainly both films are gorgeous.
Well now I know what I'm gonna do when I get home.
Thanks.

It's my favorite Kubrick film. Sometimes. Sometimes it's 2001.
