Niki
Directed by Céline Sallette
Produced by Cinéfrance Studios, OnzeCinq
A biographical drama tracing an artist's escape from postwar American repression and personal trauma, finding redemption through creative expression.
French-American artist Niki de Saint-Phalle, from the age of 23, is a model and an aspiring actor who is married and has a two year old daughter. Together, they flee the U.S. during the oppressive McCarthy era and come to France, where they experience a short-lived euphoria. Soon, distant and frightening memories begin to emerge in Niki’s mind. Her vocation as an artist will be her salvation.
