Excellent movie, underrated imho.
Excellent use of a NASA low-light moon lens for some of the candlelight scenes.
One of my 5 favorite films.
I agree. It was not a huge commercial success when first released despite strong reviews. But it has become something of a cult classic. Some have suggested that film is really just a string of classic 18th century paintings strung together since Kubrick based so many of the scenes on period paintings and portraiture. The movie is a personal favorite.
