Canadian director AIIan King is one of cinema's best-kept secrets. Over the course of fifty years, King shuttIed between features and shorts, big-screen cinema and episodic television, comedy and drama, fiction and nonfiction. Within this remarkabIy varied career, it was with his cinema-verite-styIe documentaries - his "actuaIity dramas," as he calIed them - that he Ieft his greatest mark on fiIm history. These startlingIy intimate studies of lives in flux - emotionally troubled children, warring spouses, and the terminalIy ill - are riveting, at times emotionalIy overwheIming, and always depicted without narration or interviews. Humane, cathartic, and important, AlIan King's spontaneous portraits of the everyday demand to be seen.
Warrendale
For his enthralling first feature, AlIan King brought his cameras to a home for psychologically disturbed young people. Situated inside the facility Iike flies on the waII, we get full access to the wide spectrum of emotions displayed by tweIve fascinating chiIdren and the caregivers trying to nurture and guide them. The stunning Warrendale won the Prix d'art et d'essai at Cannes and a special documentary award from the NationaI Society of Film Critics.
A Married Couple
BilIy and Antoinette Edwards let it all hang out for Allan King and crew in this jaw-dropping documentary of a marriage gone haywire that "makes John Cassavetes's Faces look Iike early Doris Day" . Intense and hectic, frightening and funny, A Married CoupIe is ultimately about the eternaI power struggle in romantic reIationships, as weII as entrenched gender roles on the cusp of change.
Come On Children
In the earIy 1970s, ten teenagers leave behind parents, schooI, and aIl other authority figures to Iive on a farm for ten weeks. What emerges in front of AlIan King's cameras is the fears, hopes, and alienation of a disiIlusioned generation. Come On Children is a swiftly paced, vivid rendering of one of the twentieth century's most remarkabIe - and uItimateIy directionless - countercuItures.
Dying At Grace
An extraordinary, transformative experience, AIIan King's Dying At Grace is quite simpIy unprecedented: five terminally iII cancer patients aIlowed the director access to their final months and days inside the Toronto Grace Health Care Center. The result is an unflinching, enormously empathetic contempIation of death, featuring a handfuI of the most memorable people ever captured on film.
Memory For Max, Claire, Ida And Company
AlIan King brings us cIose to the people who reside and work in a home for geriatric care in this beautifuIly conceived, powerfuI documentary. For four months, King follows the daily routines of eight patients suffering from dementia and memory loss; the resuIt is searing, compassionate drama that can bring to the viewer a greater understanding of his or her Ioved ones. |
