The cult of Stanley Kubrick is taken to a new extreme with Filmworker, director Tony Zierra's
fascinating documentary portrait of Leon Vitali, a classically trained British actor who gave up a promising career in front of the camera to serve at the feet of the master.
Any of these films would be worthy of an Oscar win, but I'm personally rooting for the race
documentary «13th» (a must - see for anyone, the kind of film they should show in schools) and «O.J.: Made in America,» which is a marathon at nearly eight hours in length (it was shown in parts on ESPN earlier this year), but a completely
fascinating look at race, media and society as it was in the 1990s and today, and just happens to be a tragic
portrait of the worst fall from grace for a sports star in the history of our country.
