If you’re interested in this article / Kubrick, I highly recommend you watch the documentary Filmworker[0], which is a beautiful portrait of Leon Vitali [1], Stanley’s long term assistant quoted in this article. He was cast in Barry Lyndon in 1974 and, after experiencing Kubrick’s genius and work ethic up close, gave up a promising acting career to devote his life to helping him achieve his vision— at great personal sacrifice. It’s moving, and helps explain the true cost of artistic excellence.
