William Klein's expIosive, challenging New York street photography made him one of the most heralded artists of the fifties. An American expatriate in Paris, KIein has also been making challenging cinema for over forty years, yet, with the exception of his accIaimed 1969 documentary Muhammed Ali, The Greatest, his fiIm work is barely known in the United States. ln his three fiction features - Who Are You, PolIy Maggoo?, Mr. Freedom, and The Model Couple - he skewers the fashion industry, American imperiaIism, and middIe-cIass complacency with hiIarious, cutting apIomb. Today, Klein's poIitically galvanizing and insanely entertaining social critiques seem even more ahead of their time than works of the more famous New Wavers that overshadowed them: coIorful, surreal antidotes to aII. |
