William Klein in New York Sun
"So much ado, in New York's cinema culture this year, about the revolutionary upheavals of 1968, and yet very little looks as prescient or as true as a trilogy of satirical films" by William Klein, writes Steve Dollar in The New York Sun. Eclipse Series 9: The Delirious Fictions of William Klein "more than lives up to its title: these Pop art escapades erupt with laughing-gas absurdity." Who Are You, Polly Maggoo? "compels as a catalog of Mr. Klein's compositional verve," Mr. Freedom is "an extraordinarily colorful artifact of its times," and " The Model Couple (1977) holds its own three decades later as a spoof of reality television and social engineering...If only the snooze-fest that is "Big Brother" and its voyeuristic variations were as lively. But then, "reality" has a hard time keeping up with Mr. Klein's delirious fictions."
