El grupo The Velvet Underground creó un nuevo sonido que revolucionó el mundo de la música, y acabó convirtiéndose en uno de los grupos de rock más venerados del mundo. Dirigido por el eminente cineasta Todd Haynes, «The Velvet Underground» muestra cómo el grupo del mismo nombre se convirtió en una referencia cultural que simboliza un conjunto de contradicciones: una música tan atemporal como representativa de su época, tan literaria como realista, y arraigada tanto en el arte con mayúsculas como en la cultura urbana.
The Velvet Underground created a new sound that changed the world of music, cementing its place as one of rock 'n' roll's most revered bands. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Todd Haynes, "The Velvet Underground" shows just how the group became a cultural touchstone representing a range of contradictions: the band is both of their time, yet timeless; literary yet realistic; rooted in high art and street culture. The film features in-depth interviews with the key players of that time combined with a treasure trove of never-before-seen performances and a rich collection of recordings, Warhol films, and other experimental art that creates an immersive experience into what founding member John Cale describes as the band's creative ethos: "how to be elegant and how to be brutal."
