Filmworker (2017)
Thoughtful Portrayal
5 December 2018
While I certainly appreciate Leon Vitali's dedication, I do have mixed feelings about why certain people put their own goals on hold for decades, in the service of their esteemed mentors. Vitali doggedly worked alongside the masterful Kubrick, accepting the responsibility for a wide array of tasks, including casting, distribution, graphics, and marketing. I did have hopes that this film would reveal an archival clip which featured SK and Vitali having an invigorating conversation. There are a number of interviews with industry pros who comment on the challenges of working with Kubrick, but I wonder if any of them ever took a risk to have a frank conversation with SK, regarding his meticulous demands. After reading some of the worthwhile reviews here, I recommend the astute thoughts from the reviewer known as "gortx".
