Barry Lyndon

Stanley Kubrick directs the 1975 period drama based on the novel from William Makepeace Thackeray. Set in the 18th century, “Barry Lyndon” centers on its eponymous protagonist (Ryan O’Neal), an Irish opportunist who climbs his way up the social ladder. He eventually marries a rich widow, played by Marisa Berenson, and assumes her late husband’s aristocratic position.

“Barry Lyndon” is known as one of Kubrick’s underrated yet exquisitely detailed works. It has won four Academy Awards for score, costume design, art direction, and cinematography.

Jeanne Dielman, 23, Quai du Commerce 1080 Bruxelles

Belgian filmmaker Chantal Akerman directs the 1975 arthouse film. “Jeanne Dielman” features three days in the life of the titular housewife, played by Delphine Seyrig. Her daily routine is presented in a methodical way, which later makes a slight change a cause for concern. The film was later regarded as a cult classic in the history of feminist cinema.

Victoria

Before “1917,” there was “Victoria.” The 2015 German crime thriller from director Sebastian Schipper stars Laia Costa as a young Spanish woman who becomes involved in a bank heist. “Victoria” was shot in a single continuous take, which accounts for its frenetic sense of tension.
