I always loved her in this movie, her character seemed pure and sweet in the middle of all the decadence.

set among the other actors she dominates the scene with natural presence- Seeing her in a dramatic role has made me aware just what intense charisma she had- And her voice- effortlessly seductive- emphasising a detached, fragile character-

needless to say, both novel and film are mandatory for true hardcore Nico and VU fans. I wonder how much Frederico's flick influenced the legendary decadent romanticism in the incipient years of the Velvet Underground. In fact, what would French existentialists be without this film. Nico indeeed performs a sort of extended play cameo, yet strangely ominous and casting a dark shadow over her future career as a "beautiful person" (actress, singer, diseuse, popstar, MARBLE ICON, Woden's sorceress)

Magic is made of this - Frederico knew it from scratch when he thought of Her as some sort of "nightporter" in between two worlds - that of the cosmopolitan follies of Via Venetto and the gothic atmosphere of her fiancé's Castle. But that was already tailormade for Her in Lo Duca's original 1959 novel. Her character was one of a famous ex-model who quickly ascends into the world of decadent aristocracy, fatefully enough though, just like Nico's real life saga, minus the rich marriage. Puzzling!

Fellini saw her hanging out on the set. Enthralled by her distinctive beauty he offered her a small part, on the spot. It wasn't planned, which makes Nico's appearance that much more impressive.
