Nico, 1988 se centra en los últimos años de Christa Päffgen (Nico), musa de Warhol y cantante de The Velvet Underground. Relata su última gira, perseguida por sus demonios y deseos de romper con su pasado. Una Nico que se abre paso con fuerza, una rockera madura lejos de la gélida perfección por la que es recordada. Alejada del sensacionalismo y cercana a una personalidad tan fascinante como convulsa. (Versus Entertainment)

Nico actually isn’t the kind of superstar because of whom you should be forcing your kids to think about the music of yesteryear. She was a sort of a diva who was popular with the greatest artists of the time. I guess she could mesmerize them, maybe even impress them. Hard to say. This movie definitely couldn’t answer that for me. Trine Dyrholm tried really hard, but I haven’t seen such a botched biopic in a really long time. It’s dull, boring, has no message and keeps skipping from one timeline to another without making any logical sense at all.

En palabras de la directora de esta película, la actriz Trine Dyrholm no se parece a Nico, no canta como Nico y no es de la misma nacionalidad que Nico, y sin embargo es la mejor elección posible para el papel. No se puede estar en desacuerdo. Su transformación en el personaje es realmente excelente y saca adelante la película con gran brío. En otros aspectos, sin embargo, Nico (1988) es ya un biopic bastante convencional sobre los últimos años de la vida de la musa de Warhol. La escena del concierto de Praga es el punto culminante de la película. [KVIFF 2018]

Well, this was definitely a weird film. I'll admit I'd never heard of Christa Päffgen before. I was expecting to find out more about her in this film, which didn't quite happen. I can't say that I’m still blissfully ignorant, but I'd rather not go into writing her biography. There are way too many blank spaces. Granted, the film does focus on the final stage of the singer's life, and the occasional flashbacks are surprisingly informative, but I still think she deserved a more comprehensive biopic. As I’m writing this solely based on what I've just found out about her life through this film, it obviously wasn’t disappointing; it rather piqued my curiosity and deserves three stars for that. The performance of Trine Dyrholm in the title role was superb. / Lesson learned: Say no to drugs.
