Tracking the years from Cale’s arrival in New York City (a place he says was “filthy” and “really appalling” in the film’s trailer) to his first meeting with Reed, all the way through the group’s formation, the addition of Nico, their stint as the house band at Warhol’s The Factory and the group’s implosion in 1970, The Velvet Underground digs into the roots of the band’s credo, which Cale describes as an attempt to “be both elegant and brutal.” While Haynes took an avant-garde approach to his 2007 Bob Dylan biopic I’m Not There, the straightforwardly titled The Velvet Underground adheres to a more conventional style of rock doc, making use of archival footage and posthumous narration from Reed and guitarist Sterling Morrison, as well as new interviews with Cale and drummer Maureen “Moe” Tucker.

The cultural milieu had changed quite a bit when Welsh-born bassist and violist John Cale met songwriter, guitarist and Long Islander Lou Reed in 1963 on New York’s Lower East Side. In 1961, at a train station in England, Mick Jagger, carrying an armful of American-blues records, gets to chatting with an old mate from grammar school named Keith Richards. In 1957, a 15-year-old Paul McCartney paid threepence to watch a popular Liverpool Skiffle band perform, and was invited to join shortly thereafter by the group’s guitarist, John Lennon. ![]() Indeed, any student of rock n’ roll knows that the history of the canon is littered with chance encounters and ripe scenes made up of unusually heterogeneous mixtures of characters.
