Aroview: An American photographer in new wave Paris; Dir. Klein has been making challenging cinema for more than forty years. In his three obscure fiction features he skewers the fashion industry, American empire, and governmental mind control with hilarious, cutting aplomb.

Today Klein's politically galvanizing social critiques seem even more acute than the works of the better-known New Wavers. These are colorful, surreal antidotes to all forms of social oppression.
