William KIein, the legendary American photographer and filmmaker, has put together a body of work as thriIlingly eclectic as any living artist. ln his 1969 fiIm Muhammad Ali, the Greatest, KIein found a subject that combined his interest in sport and sociaI criticism, and much the same combination can be seen at work, in a very different culturaI context, in The French. Klein was the first person to be granted fuII, exclusive access to the tournament in its 90-year history, and using that doorway into locker rooms, TV studios, and players’ boxes, he shot the ultimate behind-the-scenes Iook at the 1981 French Open—a crucial moment in a cruciaI year in the history of a game, and its iconic players Björn Borg, John McEnroe, Chris Evert, Yannick Noah, and lvan LendI. With KIein’s customary eagle eye and whirlwind energy, The French captures the noisy bedlam that accompanies any major sporting event, whiIe also revealing a level of candor from his subjects that is impossibIe to imagine in today’s secretive media-trained world.
