Raconteur, Provocateur, extraordinaire!
Despite that he was 79, this is still sad news. He was still working. He was a trailblazer with immense curiosity about the human condition-- his work broke barriers. One of the true (and few) visionaries of Canadian cinema.
I agree. He seemed to possess so much vitality, and I would have expected him to go on for even longer.He is a marker in Canadian cinema -- like David Cronenberg and Atom Egoyan, Allan King is known and admired outside of Canada.
