Delirious Fictions Of William Klein, The: Eclipse From The Criterion Collection () Rating: Starring: Director: William Klein Category: Foreign, Comedy Studio: Criterion Subtitles: English Length: 293 mins     William Klein's explosive, challenging New York street photography made him one of the most heralded artists of the fifties. An American expatriate in Paris, Klein has also been making challenging cinema for over forty years, yet, with the exception of his acclaimed 1969 documentary Muhammed Ali, The Greatest, his film work is barely known in the United States. In his three fiction features - Who Are You, Polly Maggoo?, Mr. Freedom, and The Model Couple - he skewers the fashion industry, American imperialism, and middle-class complacency with hilarious, cutting aplomb. Today, Klein's politically galvanizing and insanely entertaining social critiques seem even more ahead of their time than works of the more famous New Wavers that overshadowed them: colorful, surreal antidotes to all.
