In the Court of the Crimson King: King Crimson at 50

A paean to the pains and ecstasies of extreme music-making.

Part road chronicle and part retrospective, and captures King Crimson, the adventurous British rock ensemble, at what may be the end of its existence.

There’s nothing sentimental about this documentary, which looks at people with the clear, unflinching gaze of a portraitist.

In the Court of King Crimson: King Crimson at 50 is not an exploration of what was or who the band used to be, but rather a voyage into their present and future.
