Filmworker (DVD) Kino Lorber Documentary

Leon Vitali was a rising British television actor when Stanley Kubrick picked him for the role of Lord Bullingdon in Barry Lyndon. That first encounter with the famed auteur proved decisive - he swiftly resolved to devote the rest of his life working for the director this time behind the scenes and took on just about every job available: casting director acting coach location scouter sound engineer color corrector A.D. promoter and eventually restorer of Kubrick s films. Tony Zierra s affecting documentary profiles the devoted filmworker - Vitali s preferred job title - as he enthusiastically recounts his days with the notoriously meticulous volatile and obsessive director. The experiences brought both tremendous sacrifice and glowing pride.
