USA | 2021 | 90’ | TBC | Todd Haynes
One day in New York a music prodigy from the Amman Valley crossed paths with a pop culture obsessive from Long Island and the world was forever changed. With in-depth interviews, a treasure trove of previously unseen footage, Warhol films and the eye of legendary director Todd Haynes (Velvet Goldmine; Carol; I’m Not There), this is an immersive delve into the band that created a unique sound and ushered in a new era. The Velvet Underground, a band both of their time, yet timeless; literary yet realistic; rooted in the high art world and street culture. Together, they created what founding member, Welsh musician John Cale described as “how to be elegant and how to be brutal”.
“A rapturous homage to experimental art” David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
