Essential Cinema: Nico/Garrel: White Light Lays Above

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

“A total masterpiece. I can’t explain it … Suddenly, it’s mankind, the whole earth that speaks – the earth in the ancient sense of mother … It’s incredible: everything is there.”
—Henri Langlois

In this “collage of dreams” born of an acid haze, Nico (of Velvet Underground fame) joins Philippe Garrel and Pierre Clémenti in a mystical battle of the sexes, shouted across three languages against the painterly backdrops of Sinai, Death Valley, and Iceland. Presented with the silent short ATHANOR. In 35mm.
