Based on true events, "Colour Me Kubrick," is the story is of Alan Conway, a man who bluffed his way into London's high society by pretending to be legendary director Stanley Kubrick in 1998 and 1999. Too bad he didn't come here and pretend to be Kubrick. We would have warmly embraced him and pretended along with him that he was Kubrick. Afterall, what's one more con artist among his fellow artists. Kubrick of course, was the filmmaker responsible for 2001: A Space Odessy, which was written by Arthur C. Clarke. Clarke has a bronze plaque on the front of the hotel.

Don't miss this chance to view Rene Ricard's first movie, Kitchen. The Warhol flick also stars Edie Sedgwick. Sedgwick applies make-up, exercises her legs, is seduced by Mickey Trudeau, and discusses coffee. Written as a showcase for Sedgwick, Ronald Tavel's situational and episodic script was described by Warhol as "illogical, without motivation or character-completely ridiculous." The curator, David Schwartz tells us that Kitchen is "... a hilarious work, sort of like a deadpan parody of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, as conceived by Samuel Beckett. Most of Edie's films were unscripted. This one uses a script by Ronald Tavel, the playwright, to make fun of the very idea of scripts. And Edie was instructed to sneeze whenever she forgot her dialogue. She sneezes constantly throughout the film."
Preceded by Restaurant 1965, 34 mins. Edie Sedgwick and friends drink and talk as they await a meal. (Photo: Rene in a still from Kitchen)
