Essential Cinema: Nico/Garrel: White Light Lays Above

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

Dedicated to Nico, Philippe Garrel’s I CAN NO LONGER HEAR THE GUITAR is quite “possibly his masterpiece” (Olivier Assayas). The film follows couple Marianne (Johanna ter Steege, THE VANISHING) and Gerard (Benoît Régent) as they fall in and out of love with each other — and heroin. An intensely autobiographical work, Garrel and co-scribes Marc Cholodenko and Jean-François Goyet craft a story that is at once “elusive and haunting” (The New York Times). In 35mm.
