The Inner Scar

In this enigmatic 1972 film, director Philippe Garrel weaves a tapestry of symbolic, surreal, and mystic images that pay homage to the poetic soul of Nico, whose five original songs punctuate the narrative. Set against a backdrop of desert landscapes, "The Inner Scar" is a dreamlike exploration that delves into the inner world of its characters, where poetry and music serve as the soundtrack for the soul. Filmed in Egypt, the United States, and Iceland, this French surrealist masterpiece was once hailed by film archivist Henri Langlois as a work of genius.
