Movie #237 "Color Me Kubrick" is a satire about how we are so excited when we think we meet famous people that we really don't even question if they are the real thing ------ and it really doesn't matter until the bills need to be paid. I laughed several times at this outlandish con artist, who is able to change accents on a minute's notice. John Malkovich is at his best here playing this guy --------- what guts it takes to play this guy who had equal amount of guts to pose as Stanley Kubrick. Crazy idea and it works. The film is kind of a mocumentary on this con artist, so if you like those, you;ll find this of interest.

(2005) NR
Based on a true story, this outlandish comedy stars John Malkovich as Alan Conway, a second-rate con man who successfully passed himself off as legendary director Stanley Kubrick in the late 1990s. Kubrick, a known recluse, was a perfect target for Conway, who used his persona to find fame and fortune. Directed by Brian W. Cook, this verité-style indie satirizes the allure of celebrity in the modern age.
