NICO, 1988 trailer | BFI London Film Festival 2017

Danish actress and singer Trine Dyrholm astounds as iconic performer Nico in this fascinating biopic. Although her stint with the Velvet Underground in the late 1960s was relatively fleeting, the subsequent recording career of Christa Päffgen (better known as Nico) was often eclipsed by her iconic collaboration with the revered band. Desperate to liberate herself from the shadows of her former glories, Nico continued producing music right up until her untimely death in 1988, and in this powerful and authentic biopic, director Susanna Nicchiarelli documents the final two years in the often tragic life of the frustrated artist.
