âYou either love it so much you canât help it, or youâre a fucking idiot, or youâre a mixture of both.â â Leon Vitali
Filmworker tells the story of Leon Vitali, who walked away from a promising acting career to devote his professional life to director Stanley Kubrick. Vitaliâs star was on the rise in the early 1970s when he was cast in a supporting role in the directorâs Barry Lyndon. After observing Kubrick on the set, Vitali went up to the director, said that he wanted to work for him, and that was pretty much that. Kubrick suggested that Vitali work behind the scenes on another film to gain an understanding on the process; Vitali took a part in a television movie to get that chance, and after completing that work, came back into Kubrickâs orbit and never left.
