Sunset

Synopsis

A rare, unfinished film by Andy Warhol, Sunset is a meditation on the temporality of an everyday phenomenon. Here, a sunset over the Pacific Ocean in California unfolds as a slow and colorful shift of atmospheric light at dusk. As the sun sinks to the horizon, the deep voice of the singer Nico, who was then working with the Velvet Underground, is heard reading poetry off-screen.
