In The Court of The Crimson King (15)
1hr 25m 

Director: Toby Amies 
What began as a straightforward documentary about the cult rock band King Crimson as it turned 50, mutated into an exploration of time, death, family, and the transcendent power of music to change lives. 

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

”Rarely does a music documentary so vividly evoke both the artistic approach and the tricky personality of its subject” The Observer ****

”In the Court of the Crimson King” is really about as good as rock documentaries get” Variety

”Toby Amies’s documentary on the prog-rock group King Crimson is not so much a history of the band as a study of what it’s like to be a member” The Sunday Times ****
