In the Court of the Crimson King
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Toby Amies
2022 / 86min / DCP
Amies’s documentary record of the legendary English prog rock outfit King Crimson as they prepare to celebrate 50 years of performing and recording is both darker and funnier than your average rock doc, finding founding member Robert Fripp and his collaborators describing the extraordinary pressures—and transcendent pleasures—that come from striving for creative breakthroughs and facing the sometimes smothering idolatry of arena-sized audiences. “Rarely does a music documentary so vividly evoke both the artistic approach and the tricky personality of its subject… [In the Court of the Crimson King is] angular and abrasive, exacting and playful, extremely funny and achingly melancholy.”—The Guardian
Q&A with director longtime King Crimson bassist Tony Levin moderated by Steve Smith (Culture & Arts Editor, Gothamist) on Tuesday, December 6th at 7:00pm
