Based on his autobiography, Stanley Kubrick and Me, the film is a personal glimpse of the man behind the myth. With a wealth of previously unknown material drawn from D’Alessandro’s personal archives, the film sheds new light on Kubrick and his film-making, which included: 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut in which D’Alessandro himself played a cameo role. One of the film’s pleasures is seeing and hearing Kubrick’s many memos, requesting things like birthday party supplies for his children, room thermometers and medication for his pets; both fondness and frustration are clear in this detailed portrait. Airs on Fri 21st Feb at 09:40am.
