Press Notes

William Klein "funny, exciting, visionary"

In The Onion A.V. Club, Noel Murray reviews Eclipse Series 9: The Delirious Fictions of William Klein. Murray writes: "Like the documentaries Klein made prior to, during, and after his flirtation with narrative filmmaking, these three features sport a piercing wit, a wild imagination, and a general disinterest in proper storytelling... [With] a flair for political grotesquerie...all of Klein's films artfully express the philosophy espoused by one of the cultural commentators in Polly Maggoo: 'The surface is reality too.'"
