Nico, 1988

Susanna Nicchiarelli dramatizes the twilight of Nico (played by Danish actor Trine Dyrholm), the cavernous-voiced former singer of the Velvet Underground and later independent artist, as she reluctantly heads out on a last tour, struggles with drug use and mental illness, and tries to reconcile with her estranged son. It certainly looks downbeat, but perhaps also more nuanced and affecting than your average musician biopic.
