| In and Out of Fashion: William Klein (Linda Spierring & Grace Jones in Klein's 1984 film 'Fashion in France') |
A hallucinatory joy ride into the world of a cinema original, this kaleidoscopic, collage-cut-up documentary explores the amazing image making career(s) of William Klein.
From studying under cubist painter Fernand Léger in post-WWII Paris to revolutionising fashion and street portrait photography in the 1950s and from rare glimpses of his early French television assignments (on Richard Avedon, Yves Saint Laurent et al) to his fiercely unique, highly stylised films of the 1960s and '70s and his work in advertising, this taste of Klein is a mind-blowing sampling of a furious, curious film artist ignited by a minefield of passions.
