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