The Velvet Underground (2021)
In seinem Dokumentarfilm erforscht der Filmemacher Todd Haynes die Geschichte einer der einflussreichsten Bands des Rock’n’Roll. Schon 1998 hat Haynes mit „Velvet Goldmine“ einen Spielfilm über die legendäre Band gedreht und konnte sich dafür große Namen wie Christiane Bale als Arthur Stuart, Jonathan Rhys Meyers als Brian Slade und Ewan McGregor als Curt Wild sichern. In den 1960er-Jahren tritt Brian Slade in kleinen Club als Sänger auf, bis ein Manager sein Talent entdeckt und die Karriere von Velvet Underground anfeuert, die zu einem Aushängeschild der Glamrock-Kultur wurde. Orgien, Alkoholmissbrauch und Drogenexzesse lassen die Band immer wieder aus der Bahn geraten…
