In the Court of the Crimson King: King Crimson at 50 (2022)
This is easily the best rock documentary ever!

Where do I begin? You do not need any prior knowledge of King Crimson to enjoy this film. Amies has discovered some really interesting people to talk to about the band, such as the Prog Rock Nun, and some of the fans. The sequences with Bill Rieflin are outstanding, he unflinchingly presents Robert Fripp as he is, and the interviews with band members past and present are filled with humour as well as introspection. And some of the cinematography is wonderful, such as the Polish tango dancers in the rain, and the shot of the drummers discussing a mistake with Robert Fripp looming over their cymbals.
Please, for the love of God, somebody give this film the distribution deal it deserves!!
