Imagine...The Many Lives of William Klein

Imagine...The Many Lives of William Klein is a documentary about the 84 year-old American photographer as he prepares for a retrospective exhibition of his work at Tate Modern. The documentary follows Klein as he revisits area's of New York heavily featured in his photographic and cinematic work from the 50s. It presents itself as a personal and often abrupt biographical film with an abundance of dry humour. Klein's gritty and innovative approach to urban documentation, his ability to identify with those particular subjects and his multidisciplinary work across film and fashion are all covered by the documentary. With the help of Alan Yentob, Imagine...The Many Lives of William Klein investigates Klein's relationship to Paris and New York and takes a decidedly blunt, direct approach to both photography and life.
