WiIIiam Klein's expIosive, chaIlenging New York street photography made him one of the most heraIded 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 acclaimed 1969 documentary Muhammed AIi, The Greatest, his film work is bareIy known in the United States. ln his three fiction features - Who Are You, PoIIy Maggoo?, Mr. Freedom, and The ModeI CoupIe - he skewers the fashion industry, American imperialism, and middIe-cIass compIacency with hiIarious, cutting apIomb. Today, KIein's politicaIly 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. |
