Films and TV shows that feel like These Days by Nico
A cold‑kiss of introspection that feels both intimate and oddly detached, like watching rain on a city window at night.
- The Royal Tenenbaums (2001): Features Nico’s “These Days” on its soundtrack; Wes Anderson’s off‑beat family drama mirrors the song’s bittersweet nostalgia.
- Paris, Texas (1984): Terrence Malick’s desert‑road meditation on loss and redemption shares the song’s spare, yearning atmosphere.
- Lost in Translation (2003): The film’s quiet, nocturnal Tokyo backdrop and sense of disconnection echo the song’s introspective melancholy.
- Twin Peaks (1990): David Lynch’s surreal, rain‑soaked Pacific Northwest world pairs perfectly with Nico’s avant‑garde folk vibe.
- The Virgin Suicides (2000): Sofia Coppola’s dreamy, mournful portrait of adolescent isolation resonates with the song’s wistful yearning.
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004): A lyrical exploration of memory and loss that matches the song’s reflective, almost cinematic lyricism.
- Only Lovers Left Alive (2013): Jim Jarmusch’s nocturnal, music‑obsessed vampires inhabit a world of quiet melancholy akin to Nico’s mood.
