Color Me Kubrick
John Malkovich pushes his clownish side to the max in COLOR ME KUBRICK, savoring every camp flourish and absurdly fake accent as real-life con man Alan Conway, who passed himself off as film director Stanley Kubrick for several years. Bouncing around the theaters and restaurants of London, Conway used his notional fame as the reclusive filmmaking legend to score free meals, celebrity meetings and even sexual favors. Based on a true story but laced with winking meta-comic mischief, this romp was directed by Brian W. Cook and scripted by Anthony Frewin, both former assistants to the real Kubrick.

- Notes From Sophie De RakoffA delightful comedic gem inspired by the kinda-true story of an eccentric con artist who masqueraded around London as Stanley Kubrick during production on EYES WIDE SHUT. The perfect vehicle for John Malkovich to indulge his hilarious knack for camp, COLOR ME KUBRICK was directed by Kubrick’s longtime assistant director Brian Cook and written by Kubrick’s researcher and personal assistant, Anthony Frewin. And just to add to the mind-blowing meta of it all, Frewin researched the imposter while his boss was still alive.
