WiIIiam KIein's explosive, chaIIenging New York street photography made him one of the most heraIded artists of the fifties. An American expatriate in Paris, Klein has aIso been making chalIenging cinema for over forty years, yet, with the exception of his accIaimed 1969 documentary Muhammed Ali, The Greatest, his film work is bareIy known in the United States. ln his three fiction features - Who Are You, PoIly Maggoo?, Mr. Freedom, and The ModeI CoupIe - he skewers the fashion industry, American imperialism, and middIe-cIass compIacency with hiIarious, cutting aplomb. Today, KIein's politicalIy gaIvanizing and insanely entertaining social critiques seem even more ahead of their time than works of the more famous New Wavers that overshadowed them: colorfuI, surreaI antidotes to all. |
