Despite
looking nothing like Kubrick – which is rather obvious, considering
Malkovich himself doesn’t share any similarities to the late director -
Alan Conway was able to get meetings with the big-timers, swindle them
out of money, and basically pitch projects that nearly got made. All
because, nobody bothered to do a google and see what Stanley Kubrick
actually looked like (for the record, the late director was a big burly
man with a balding noggin’ and a bushy beard). One of the films
producers notes that the film has three messages: “One, anyone can be
Stanley Kubrick. Two, all crimes perpetrated in the name of celebrity
will be rewarded by celebrity itself. Three, if you ever meet a
celebrity, watch your wallet.” Color Me Kubrick
isn’t laugh-out-loud funny, and it does omit some terribly big missed
opportunities, but it’s an enjoyable and rather interesting chronicle
of one of today’s most unique crimes. EXTRAS No Extras.Conclusion:
