Niki De Saint Phalle
Biopic about Niki de Saint Phalle, with Charlotte Le Bon in the role of the renowned artist.
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?
