In the Court of The Crimson King King Crimson at 50

King Crimson has been described as popular but never populist. Just as King Crimson has been, for more than half a century, an atypical rock band, this film is a refreshingly atypical music documentary. Toby Amies’ film about one of rock music’s most enduring, but simultaneously elusive, bands, In The Court of the Crimson King – King Crimson at 50 provides a unique insight into the working process of a complex touring band, interspersed with contributions from previous band members to provide a contextual backdrop to the band’s past, as the most recent (2014-2021) line-up tours the world just before and during its 50th anniversary.
