Aside from giving us new insight and anecdotes regarding Kubrick, the film's biggest win is how much perspective it provides into the creative process. Namely, it reminds us how a majority of the credit being pinned to the backs of one (or maybe two) individuals is an injustice to all those "little guys" who serve beneath and are fundamental to the craft of any masterpiece.

In the case of Kubrick, Leon Vitali is an unsung hero, and is very much deserving of some love. He is responsible for several of the most iconic aspects in Kubrick's last three masterpieces, in addition to serving as "caretaker" of Kubrick's estate, ensuring restorations and the like meet that gold-star Kubrickian standard.

There are many revelations unearthed here that are best experienced through this documentary, so I will take care not to spoil them here; however, just know that it will be nearly impossible to watch The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, or Eyes Wide Shut again without thinking of Vitali's blood, sweat and tears that are embedded into the DNA of these productions just as much as Stanley's.
