In the Court of the Crimson King is a dark, comic film for anyone who wonders whether it is worth sacrificing everything for just a single moment of transcendence.<br \/>\nFor over 50 years Robert Fripp, also famous for his work with David Bowie and Brian Eno, has overseen a unique creative environment in which freedom and responsibility conspire to place extraordinary demands on the band&#8217;s members &#8212; only alleviated by the applause of an audience whose adoration threatens to make their lives even harder. It&#8217;s a rewarding and perilous space in which the extraordinary is possible, nothing is certain, and not everyone survives intact.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Genre<\/strong>: Documentary,
