Featured review
Beautiful and Dark, just like Nico.
A haunting emotional bio pic that showcases the woman behind the haunting voice that has resonated with so many disaffected youths since the 1960's. The Velvet Underground and Nico has been my favorite album since early adolescence, so I was excited to dive into this one.
This film portrays the last two years in the life of Nico, the broken drug addled chanteuse, who at this point is basically treading water after a life scarred with sadness, regret and disappointment.
The film documents Nico's final tour across Europe with a new band.
I'm a big fan of Nico's music, and thought this was extremely well done, and I'm extremely critical of bio pics. It's a dark, somber and melancholy film that is at times extremely haunting and hypnotic. Trine Dyrholm is fantastic in the role of Nico; her nihilistic and often razor tongued balancing act across an intense emotional terrain inject a tangibility into the film. Bravo!
