A road-movie dedicated to solo career of Christa Päffgen (Nico) who was one of Andy Warhol's muses and the lead singer of The Velvet Underground. NICO, 1988 is the story of Nico's last tours with the band that accompanied her around Europe in the Eighties: years in which the "priestess of darkness", as she was called, found herself again, shaking off the weight of her beauty and rebuilding the relationship with her only forgotten son. It is the story of a rebirth, of an artist, of a mother, of the woman beyond the icon. Winner of the Best Film Award at the **Venice International Film Festival.** *"Dyrholm is aces as Nico. She uncannily summons the singer's brooding performing style, along with her many complications." - Peter Howell, **Toronto Star***
