Filmmaker William Klein reflects on a distinguished career

by Jim Bickal, Minnesota Public Radio

Paris-based filmmaker William Klein is in Minneapolis this weekend for the culmination of a retrospective of his films at the Walker Art Center. Klein, who is 82 years old now, revolutionized the art of street photography in 1956 with the publication of his book of photos entitled "New York." After that he tried his hand at moving images and made a number of satiric films and insightful documentaries. Morning Edition's Jim Bickal talked with Klein about his career.
