Niki

Actor-turned-director Céline Sallette makes an impressive debut with this vibrant portrait of French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle, brought to life by Charlotte Le Bon (The White Lotus).

Paris, 1952. Niki has recently moved from the U.S. with her husband and daughter.

Despite this newfound distance from a family and country that were suffocating her, disturbing flashbacks of her childhood continue to invade her thoughts. From the hell she is about to discover, Niki will find in her art a weapon to free herself.

"A raw, emotional performance from Charlotte Le Bon dominates a film that gradually reveals the way in which art becomes a way of conquering trauma and finding a voice for this ground-breaking mid-century sculptor." – Allan Hunter, Screen International
