Mister Freedom, William Klein, 1st Edition, Korinsha Press, 1998

About the Item

First Edition, published by Korinsha Press, Japan, 1998. Text in Japanese and with some English headings. A brilliant Japanese photobook of stills, designs and behind the scenes images from William Klein's classic anti-imperialist superhero satire, 'Mister Freedom', his 'star-spangled allegory about creeping freedomism'. Savage, farcical and politically charged, Klein's ahead-of-its-time film remains inventive and angry today, and this beautifully designed Japan softcover book is a perfect accompaniment. Softcover in gatefold sleeves and publisher's printed plastic dust jacket sleeve, text in Japanese, unpaginated, heavily illustrated in colour and black and white throughout.
