Exploring the long and storied history of the progressive rock group King Crimson, In the Court of the Crimson King: King Crimson at 50 takes a lighthearted view of a sometimes-contentious band hellbent on pushing its musical boundaries. Toby Amies’ darkly comic documentary follows ringleader and longest surviving member Robert Fripp and a rotating merry band of musicians – both past and present – on tour and down memory lane for a celebration of the group’s ever-evolving sound.
