Watch: Colour Me Kubrick 2005 123movies, Full Movie Online – In London in the 1990s, a balding alcoholic with an unsteady American accent introduces himself in pubs and other social settings as Stanley Kubrick. Drinks and meals are suddenly on the house or paid for by an admiring person, usually a man, whose costumes, band, acting abilities or what have you, Stanley finds fascinating. He’s actually Alan Conway (1934-1998): we watch him parlay a self-confident manner and a small amount of movie knowledge into a persona whom others immediately hang their dreams on. In exchange, Stanley asks only that they pay the bill. Will he be exposed? Do prosecution and prison await? Or has the National Health something else in mind?.
Plot: The true story of a man who posed as director Stanley Kubrick during the production of Kubrick’s last film, Eyes Wide Shut, despite knowing very little about his work and looking nothing like him.

Brilliant work by Malkovich
I have to say, after years of seeing Malkovich receive critical acclaim for acting roles in which he seemed to do little more than portray himself, I had pretty much written him off as another one of those American actors whose sole talent lay in having a charismatic persona. I gained renewed respect for him when I saw the priceless, “Being John Malkovich” – which, although not a film to challenge the former accusation, certainly showed that he had a sense of humour about himself and his established “persona”. But with “Colour me Kubrick”, he deserves full credit – both for allowing himself to appear absolutely ridiculous on film, and for a performance in which he truly transforms himself (multiple times) to portray the grotesque, yet strangely endearing character of Alan Conway. It’s a fantastic performance that renews my belief in his skill as an actor. The film itself is cleverly written and well-executed, with excellent performances by all supporting characters. If it weren’t for the many, hilarious sub-plots, involving Conway/Kubrick’s hapless victims (all of whom, in some way, deserve what they get), the main plot – which is indeed a rather thin premise on which to base an entire film – would have grown tiresome quickly. As it is, the film probably couldn’t have stood to be five minutes longer, and ended rather weakly. However, for what it was, it was very entertaining. As a small footnote: very surprising is the – totally uncharacteristic, and as a consequence, quite enjoyable – soundtrack work by Bryan Adams, usually known for his cheezy, lighter-waving, nausea-inducing rock-ballads. Since when does he make music like this?
Like watching paint dry.
I rented this movie tonight and after twenty minutes, my wife began washing dishes. Fifty minutes in and I was playing games on my cell. This movie has nothing to do with Stanley Kubrick so if you’re intrigued because you are a Kubrick fan, don’t waste your time. Looking at Brian Cook’s resume, it seems like he was Kubrick’s long time assistant director. Obviously he wasn’t paying attention. Some of the compositions look very ameteurish, straight out of film school (characters placed in the middle of the frame, staring directly at the camera). Worst of all, the film gave no insight into Alan Conway and why he was doing the things he was doing. The dialogue is painfully self-conscious. Everybody in this film is completely aware there are in a film. Nobody acts like a real person. Even John Malkovich’s performance (which others are praising) is very over the top, with an ounce of subtlety. Stay away…
