COLOR ME KUBRICK: A TRUE…..ISH STORY

Life falsely imitates art truly (ok, oxymoron rampage) in the hilarious outlandish "Color Me Kubrick: A True….Ish Story". John Malkovich stars as Alan Conway, a flamboyant witty conman who truly impersonated the legendary Stanley Kubrick in London during the 90's. What was so surreal or unreal in this matter is that his schemes worked. Since Kubrick was considered a recluse in his London home and studio, many Londoners actually fell for Conway's manipulation and handed over lavish gifts & dollars to Stanley Kubrick, I mean, Alan Conway himself! See what I mean! His manipulative ploys worked like "Clockwork" and it was a strange "Odyssey" that had the light "Shining" on Conway and these poor fools did not know how much their "Eyes Wide Shut" vision had them looking like rubbish victims; I thought I would color Kubrick myself with that homage. John Malkovich's eccentric & masterful performance is in the elite class of the year. Hey, he is a superb actor; he was just being his usual John Malkovich grand auteur self. Writer Anthony Ferwin, a longtime Kubrick collaborator, colored the film with comical ingredients with his trueish screenplay. Director Brian Cook spiced up this true story adaptation with meaty experimental direction; just like the master Stanley. Cook, who also was a Kubrick Assistant Director, did learn to cook up film direction from Kubrick himself. So I feed you no bull...it when I say that "Color Me Kubrick: A True….ish Story" paints a pretty comical picture for the movie public. ***** Excellent

score 9/10
