Colour Me Kubrick Summary
Director: Brian Cook
Genres: Comedy
Rating:
In the mid-'90s, an Englishman by the name of Alan Conway (John_Malkovich) conned many people into believing that he was the reclusive American director Stanley_Kubrick, despite the fact that Conway was openly gay, bore no physical resemblance to Kubrick, and knew little about the director's work. Conway's story has been loosely adapted into the comedic feature Colour Me Kubrick. Anthony_Frewin, who worked as Kubrick's personal assistance for many years, wrote the script, and Brian_Cook, who served as Kubrick's assistant director on several films, including Barry_Lyndon and Eyes_Wide_Shut, marks his directorial debut with the film. Colour Me Kubrick follows Conway on a number of adventures, wherein he cadges drinks, cash, sex, and more from unsuspecting victims, ranging from a heavy metal band to a wine bar owner (Richard_E._Grant) to a British lounge singer (British television comic Jim_Davidson making his feature-film debut), who are awestruck by his purported fame and fortune, and willing to overlook Conway's genuinely bizarre behavior in the hopes of impressing the great director. Conway's act reached its pinnacle when he temporarily pulled the wool over the eyes of then-New York Times theater critic Frank Rich (William_Hootkins). Colour Me Kubrick features cameos by Ken_Russell, Honor_Blackman, Peter_Sallis, and Marc_Warren. The French production had its international premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival.
