Stanley Kubricks 3 -stündiges irisches Meisterwerk eröffnet für einen 50 -jährigen Jubiläumslauf in Dublin, das in 4K und komplett mit Pause restauriert wurde.

Many of the exteriors were shot in Ireland, playing „itself, England, and Prussia during the Seven Years‘ War.“[8] Kubrick and cinematographer Alcott drew inspiration from „the landscapes of Watteau and Gainsborough,“ and also relied on the art direction of Ken Adam and Roy Walker.[8] Alcott, Adam and Walker were among those who would win Oscars for their work on the film.[8][18]

Several of the interior scenes were filmed in Powerscourt House, an 18th-century mansion in County Wicklow. The house was destroyed in an accidental fire several months after filming (November 1974), so the film serves as a record of the lost interiors, particularly the „Saloon“ which was used for more than one scene. The Wicklow Mountains are visible, for example, through the window of the saloon during a scene set in Berlin. Other locations included Kells Priory, County Kilkenny (the English Redcoat encampment);[19] Huntington Castle, County Carlow (exterior) and Dublin Castle, County Dublin (the chevalier’s home). Some exterior shots were also filmed at Waterford Castle, County Waterford (now a luxury hotel and golf course) and Little Island, Waterford. Moorstown Castle in County Tipperary also featured. Several scenes were filmed at Castletown House in Celbridge, County Kildare; outside Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary, and at Youghal, County Cork.

The filming took place in the backdrop of some of the most intense years of the Troubles in Ireland, during which the Provisional Irish Republican Army (Provisional IRA) was waging an armed campaign in order to unite the island. On 30 January 1974, while filming in Dublin City’s Phoenix Park, shooting had to be cancelled due to the chaos caused by 14 bomb threats.[17] One day a phone call was received and Kubrick was given 24 hours to leave the country; he left within 12 hours. The phone call alleged that the Provisional IRA had him on a hit list and Harlan recalls „Whether the threat was a hoax or it was real, almost doesn’t matter … Stanley was not willing to take the risk. He was threatened, and he packed his bag and went home.“[7][6]
