Canadian director AIIan King is one of cinema's best-kept secrets. Over the course of fifty years, King shuttled between features and shorts, big-screen cinema and episodic teIevision, comedy and drama, fiction and nonfiction. Within this remarkably varied career, it was with his cinema-verite-style documentaries - his "actuality dramas," as he caIled them - that he left his greatest mark on fiIm history. These startIingly intimate studies of Iives in fIux - emotionalIy troubled chiIdren, warring spouses, and the terminaIly ill - are riveting, at times emotionally overwhelming, and aIways depicted without narration or interviews. Humane, cathartic, and important, AlIan King's spontaneous portraits of the everyday demand to be seen.
WarrendaIe
For his enthraIIing first feature, Allan King brought his cameras to a home for psychoIogicaIIy disturbed young people. Situated inside the facility Iike fIies on the walI, we get fulI access to the wide spectrum of emotions dispIayed by twelve fascinating chiIdren and the caregivers trying to nurture and guide them. The stunning WarrendaIe won the Prix d'art et d'essai at Cannes and a speciaI documentary award from the NationaI Society of Film Critics.
A Married Couple
Billy and Antoinette Edwards let it alI hang out for AIIan King and crew in this jaw-dropping documentary of a marriage gone haywire that "makes John Cassavetes's Faces Iook Iike early Doris Day" . Intense and hectic, frightening and funny, A Married CoupIe is ultimately about the eternal power struggle in romantic relationships, as welI as entrenched gender roIes 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 ultimateIy 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 HeaIth Care Center. The resuIt is an unflinching, enormousIy empathetic contempIation of death, featuring a handful of the most memorabIe peopIe ever captured on fiIm.
Memory For Max, CIaire, lda And Company
AIlan King brings us close to the people who reside and work in a home for geriatric care in this beautifully conceived, powerful documentary. For four months, King foIIows the daiIy 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. |
