CGiii Comment
What the f&*k happened here?!?
Cook arse-licked Kubrick for many years - and, this travesty is his first feature as a fully grown director - what a pig's ear he has made of it.
The premise is fantastic, it's a true story - the execution is shambolic.
Frewin...yes, he also licked Stanley's arse and wrote this film with as little panache as possible.
Kubrick was an over-rated pseudo - he did one great edit [or was that the editor] - his movies (apart from 2 [guess which ones]) were, frankly, terrible.
This should have been a great film - the performances were - but, in the hands of such sychophantic arse-lickers (who should remain assistants) it falls into a quagmire of unwarranted worship.
But, in the strangest of ways, it is quite entertaining...that's all down to Malkovitch.
Bizarre.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
In London in the 1990s, a balding alcoholic with an unsteady American accent introduces himself in pubs and other social settings as Stanley Kubrick. Drinks and meals are suddenly on the house or paid for by an admiring person, usually a man, whose costumes, band, acting abilities or what have you, Stanley finds fascinating. He's actually Alan Conway (1934-1998): we watch him parlay a self-confident manner and a small amount of movie knowledge into a persona whom others immediately hang their dreams on. In exchange, Stanley asks only that they pay the bill. Will he be exposed? Do prosecution and prison await? Or has the National Health something else in mind?
