Synopsis
Niki (2024) is a biographical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Actress Céline Sallette steps behind the camera for the first time to trace the early years of artist Niki de Saint-Phalle, played by Charlotte Le Bon.
It's the early 1950s. Niki is twenty-three, modeling and chasing small acting roles, with a husband and a two-year-old daughter, Laura. The family leaves a fearful, censorious America for France, where Paris feels, briefly, like a fresh start. Then buried childhood memories begin to surface — the kind she has spent years refusing to name. Plaster, paint and her first sculptures become the thing that keeps her upright.
Sallette skips the tidy career retrospective. What she films instead is a woman who finds the language of art long before she finds the words for her own wound. Best for viewers who like their biopics quiet and raw rather than glossy. Stream Niki (2024) online on iFILM.
