Synopsis:

The Inner Scar: In 1972, Nico sang and shouted in the New Mexico desert, in the snowy plains of Iceland, and in the charred landscapes of Egypt. Philippe Garrel shot La Cicatrice intérieure as the ultimate film-trip to the most desolate territories of the world. This masterwork's echo is heard even in Gus Van Sant (Gerry) and Vincent Gallo (The Brown Bunny), a mythical love story between a gifted filmmaker and his ghostly icon. The Crystal Cradle: An androgynous poet/dreamer sits and writes and meditates on the aching void that is her life. An Angel Passes: Nico is an ethereal poet haunting the gaps between scenes of Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Bulle Ogier, Laurent Terzieff, and Garrel's father, Maurice, discussing the filmmaker's staple topics: love, psychoanalysis, and the failures of May '68. Athanor: Athanor (Nico) is searching for fire. A flame is always at the foreground. Nico naked in tombs, looking at herself in circular mirrors, Nico in castles, keeper of the fire. Nico and Musky as medieval princesses. Athanor is a film about fire. The Blue of the Origins: A survival, silent black & white film shot with a hand camera, a journey into Philippe Garrel's intimate family album featuring the two women who counted in his cinematographic life: Nico and Zouzou. The High Solitudes: Garrel convinced Jean Seberg, in the midst of a long struggle with mental illness, alcohol and drug, to 'star' in this silent document of her daily life. Consisting mostly of meditative B&W close-ups of Seberg and her friends, as her torments and inner life flicker across her eerily beautiful face.
