Time & Tickets

Paris, 1952. Niki de Saint Phalle has recently moved from the oppressive US with her husband and daughter. Working as a model and actress, Niki hopes her bohemian life is enough to fulfil her – or silence the haunting episodes from her childhood that continue to invade her thoughts. From the hell she is about to discover, Niki will find in her art a weapon to free herself.

This powerful debut from actress-turned-director Céline Sallette is a biopic that proves that art can liberate us from the wounds that cut the deepest. Sallette depicts Niki’s psychological journey as she mines her personal history for inspiration; her traumatic childhood, self-destructive behaviour, and her ultimate transformation, becoming an accomplished avant-garde artist and feminist icon. From sculptor and painter to author and filmmaker, who was Niki de Saint-Phalle?

Céline Sallette, France, 2024, 98 min. French & English spoken, Dutch subtitles. With Charlotte Le Bon, John Robinson, Damien Bonnard, Judith Chemla, Alain Fromager.
