In Barry Lyndon (1975), Stanley Kubrick wanted the photography of his film to have a resemblance to the 17
th-18
th c. paintings. To do that Kubrick got special Zeiss lenses from NASA in order to shoot in natural candle light, which is impossible with normal lenses. The result was marvelous and unique. Every shot, scene seemed like a portrait, a painting of the era.
