Muhammad Ali, the Greatest
Ce photographe exceptionnel, à l'instar de Robert Frank, a immortalisé une certaine réalité de l'Amérique avant de se tourner vers le cinéma. Ses films étaient politiques, irrévérencieux, inventifs. En marge de la nouvelle-vague, il a accompagné une certaine modernité au cinéma.
In 1964, Cassius Clay becomes heavyweight champion of the world. The day after his victory, he reveals that he is a Black Muslim. He defies white America, and changes his name to Muhammad Ali. In 1974, Ali fights George Foreman for the championship in Zaire. Ali reclaims his glory, his crown, and his legend. In his inimitable style, William Klein filmed this unique saga. (RIDM)
