Year: 1967
Director: Allan King
Plot: Now almost forgotten, Warrendale brewed up a storm of controversy when it first emerged in 1967. Canadian documentary filmmaker Allan King takes us within the walls of an institution for emotionally disturbed adolescents. It is the philosophy of Warrendale that the best therapy for the young charges is to allow them as much personal freedom as possible. Thus, the kids smoke, swear and discuss sex in the frankest terms. Though Warrendale was originally made for television, neither the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation nor London's BBC, appalled by the film's scatology and frighteningly detailed therapy sequences, wanted anything to do with this hot-potato property. King arranged for the film to be released theatrically; as a result, Warrendale shared the International Critics Prize (with Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow-Up) at the Cannes Film Festival. Producer-director Allan King later utilized outtakes to expand the film into the 18-part TV documentary series Children in Conflict. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Body: I don't like to describe films or filmmakers as "my favorite," but if I had to I think I'd say Allan King. By favorite I guess I'm saying his films touch most deeply the things I'm most interested in: the emotional connections between people, the way people damage each other and save each other.Unfortunately, these great films are only for sale through the filmmaker's website, allankingfilms.com, and the price is considerable. But if you're somebody who knows what it's like to really be changed by a film, King's work is worth whatever price you pay. But since you can't buy them all, I'd say buy Warrendale or A Married Couple. Either one of those documentaries are a great introduction into this body of work which could be among the most important of our time because it so deftly exposes human beings in our most naked moments.
