87 min. | Dir. Brian Cook | Rated NR
A painful little film based on an actual incident in which a London man impersonated the publicity-shy Stanley Kubrick, and got away with all sorts of shenanigans before getting nabbed. John Malkovich plays the con man, upping the flamboyance and emptying his character of any recognizable psychology. The plot is pretty much identical to Abbas Kiarostami's 1990 masterpiece Close-Up, in which a man impersonates the Iranian filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf, and I have no idea why one would prefer to watch this piddling vanity project.
