{"product_id":"king-ian-bloom-9781944527136","title":"King","description":"\u003cp\u003eIan Bloom wrote \u003cem\u003eKing\u003c\/em\u003e at age 35 in Los Angeles, after returning from Japan, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy - a silent film in screenplay form, stripped to the bone and carved in fire. Conceived during the recording of \u003cem\u003eSwagger\u003c\/em\u003e, his first full rock album, and shot in seven days, \u003cem\u003eKing\u003c\/em\u003e is a cinematic scripture: a solo epic performed, directed, and executed entirely by Bloom. No crew. No compromise. No fear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKing\u003c\/em\u003e is a metaphysical noir of identity, ritual, and return. In the tradition of \u003cem\u003eLe Samouraï\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e The Passenger\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Man Who Fell to Earth\u003c\/em\u003e, it follows the Art Dealer - code name: King - as he navigates a labyrinth of briefcases, statues, contracts, shadows, and fate. There are no spoken lines. Only movement, gesture, smoke, and symbols.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Beretta and a bottle of wine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA black card and a woman's photograph. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hotel room and a burning identity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is \u003cem\u003eKing \u003c\/em\u003e- where every object is loaded, every act is ceremonial, and every silence is louder than speech.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten with Bloom's signature restraint, aesthetic voltage, and cryptographic precision, \u003cem\u003eKing\u003c\/em\u003e is both elegy and manual - a film without dialogue, a script beyond cinema.
