Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Vitali played Lord Bullingdon in Barry Lyndon before disappearing behind the camera for 30 years. Kubrick reportedly never praised him to his face.
The documentary's most devastating revelation: Vitali still lives in a modest London flat, surrounded by Kubrick's estate, essentially unpaid for decades of servitude.
