An acquaintance has asked me to check the possibility of restoration of Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon. As with all of Kubrick’s movies prior to Full Metal Jacket, the German theatrical version featured fully localized titles and intertitles. The goal of this project was:
- Take the best picture master (Criterion Blu-Ray) in its original 1.66:1 aspect ratio;
- Re-create the German localization for the movie: start and end credits as well as intertitles.
- Re-synchronize German mono audio
- Provide English mono audio (Criterion)
- Provide English and German subtitles.
All of these goals could be achieved. Some of the progress can be seen in the WIP thread.
The English DTS-HDMA and German 5.1 Dolby Digital audio has also been synchronized for it (separate files).
