In his kaleidoscopic documentary\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Velvet Underground\u003c\/i\u003e, Todd Haynes vividly evokes the band’s incandescent world: the creative origins of the twin visionaries Lou Reed and John Cale, Andy Warhol’s fabled Factory, and the explosive tension between pop and the avant-garde that propelled the group and ultimately consumed it. Never-before-seen performances, interviews, rare recordings, and mind-blowing transmissions from the era’s experimental cinema scene come together in an ecstatic swirl of sound and image that is to the traditional music documentary what the Velvets were to rock: utterly revolutionary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sharetools\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"header_lvl2
