  What a fantastic interview. We've lost someone with a such a unique and personal insight into Kubrick's work. Rest in peace.

  The documentary film about Vitalli, &quot;Film Worker,&quot; is essential viewing. I just watched it and Holy Cow!, Vitali&apos;s contributions to - and work for - Kubrick get long overdue attention. While a lot of people are trying to ride on Kubrick&apos;s coattails, Vitali WAS his coattails - maybe Kubrick&apos;s entire coat. It was telling how several actors interviewed considered giving up a career as an actor an absolutely unthinkable sacrifice, Vitali did it and is, to this day, very happy with that choice.<br><br>He&apos;s the keeper of the flame. He learned colour correction from Kubrick, carried out his instructions on the processing of prints for ALL his films, even the pre-&quot;Barry Lyndon&quot; ones. He is THE authority on how Kubrick wanted his films to look and how they were meant to be framed. Sorry, Christopher Nolan, but Vitali was actually THERE!

  It&apos;s so fun to listen to this guy talk because his answers are extremely nuanced, rigorous and smart. You can see why he and Kubrick got along so well.

  I am convinced Leon was the masked high priest in the red cloak in &apos;Eyes Wide Shut&apos;. Listen to the voice and compare.

  The genius of stanley is the total mystery to all his films , the complexity to the work in which he made was immense.

  What a great match intellectually and artistically. Kubrick knew how to choose staff/talent.
